South of downtown Tucson, Arizona is a restaurant specializing in Ethiopian cuisine called Café Desta. This restaurant is unique in that a group of refugees from Eritrea and Ethiopia collectively own it. They mostly employ employees from these two countries and Café Desta not only serves as a source of employment for new refugees, but it also serves as a connection to help newcomers familiarize themselves and adjust to the new community.
