African café merges two culturesKafé Afrika strives to integrate immigrants, promote cuisine - reported by the Prague Post by Jenna Moller

Kafé Afrika is not your typical café. Maybe it's the upbeat African music floating through the air, maybe it's the friendly "you're very welcome here" greeting, or maybe it's the simple fact that it's one of the only places in Prague where an adventurous tourist or hungry local can find African cuisine. But those aren't the only reasons it is unique. The café is helping people.

Kafé Afrika is a product of Humanitas Afrika, a nonprofit organization that aims to build an understanding between Africans and Czechs and educate both groups on each other's cultures. In July, the café opened its doors with a mission to help African immigrants and refugees in Prague get integrated into Czech culture.

It is the first African social enterprise project being supported by the EU. More info in the original article.
