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 232 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.
