Story

The Wild Frontiers Foundation has teamed up with The HOPE Foundation UK to support its training schemes in Kolkata. £1250 provides a 12-month traineeship at HOPE's training restaurant for a young adult from the Kolkata slums. During the traineeship they will learn invaluable skills in food and beverage, cooking, front of house, restaurant management and marketing to establish a career in hospitality. The Wild Frontiers Foundation is aiming to raise £10,000 to put 8 young slum dwellers through the extensive restaurant training, giving them all the skills needed to join past trainees who have gone on to work in 5 star hotels across Kolkata or set up their own businesses.

***Update May 2016 - Welcome to Jhuma! We are thrileld to introduce you to Jhuma (picture) who is our first Wild Frontiers Foundation sponosred trainee at the HOPE cafe. Every £1250 we raise allows us to offer another young person from the Kolkata streets a place on the trainee programme.
