We believe that education is the strongest way to impact society. We trained
soldiers wounded in combat as distraction therapy and job opportunity, advising
new business units and employing come participants with the Elcielo Hospitality
Group restaurants. The Foundation is a pioneer in the country in involving the
issue of peace with gastronomy.
The programs led by the Foundation are focused on training populations in various
areas of the kitchen that – for different reasons – have difficulties entering the
working environment, allowing them to train and gain experience in our kitchens so
that they can find employment in a simpler way.
In turn, forgiveness, reconciliation, leadership and teamwork are part of the
workshops that the Foundations imparts for its members.
In addition, the Foundation leads and promotes initiatives for the education of low-
income children as well as projects around caring for the environment and ecology.
Planting trees, cleaning the seas and the proper use of resources are part of the
activities that the Elcielo Foundation – together with the Kai Restaurant – have
been developing to continue deepening its implementation in some territories of Colombia.
The Elcielo Foundation has benefitted more than 2,000 people with training,
workshops and projects carried out.
