Cooking For Life (CFL) is a Christian charity based in Uberlandia, Brazil and provides training programmes for young people in underprivileged areas to become chefs and waiters, enabling them to gain employment.  Until now 219 young people have been trained, the majority of whom are now working. CFL also runs a non profit-making restaurant to help fund the training programmes where the students gain work experience.


Training Programmes
In January 2010 a new group of 8 students started the training programme. Their names are (L to R in photo): Cristiano, Maurilio, Allef, Joao Lucas, Priscila, Isis, Mislene and Cleicemar.






In December 2009 a group of 5 students completed the nineteenth training programme. For more info and photos click here.
