The International Institute’s Afghan Support Program is going across the country to tout local employment opportunities, business grants, education, housing and other resources in hopes of beckoning newly arrived Afghans to St. Louis.
Newly arriving Afghans, who came to St. Louis after fleeing Afghanistan in August 2021 are settling into the city and creating businesses to build the economy. The International Institute of St. Louis has programs to help get Afghan businesses started.
In the coming months, the International Institute of St. Louis plans to welcome Afghan refugees from Albania, where they have been for months. Institute officials say they will be more prepared for the latest arrivals.
