The idea for CALI came to Jeff Morgan during a 1997 visit to the
Peruvian Amazon village of Mosquito Playa. This semi-nomadic
people group, known as The Asheninkas, live a basic agrarian
lifestyle that earns each family of 8-10 people $100 per year from
subsistence farming.
When it became apparent to Jeff that this native people group
and many other Peruvians would never be visited by a trained
Agricultural Extension Agent or a well trained medical team, Jeff
thought, “ these are problems that need fixing.”
Jeff and his wife Carol founded CALI, a 501 (c) 3 non profit
organization, in 2000 as a tool to help connect some of
the problems in Peru to the many solutions available
around the world.
CALI encourages families living in extreme poverty to achieve
a more self reliant lifestyle.
CALI, strengthens the efforts of village-level workers,
community leaders, non-profit and religious organizations by
forming a network of centers that identifies problems,
develops solutions and the implements, manages, and
documents these solutions.
