What We Do: |
CALI works only where it is invited and exists to strengthen the efforts of people
who are making a measurable, reproducible difference in the lives of those
around them. CALI does this in the following ways.
CALI first asks poor communities about THEIR felt needs. (We don’t tell. We

non-government organizations, institutions and government associations that
we believe can recommend solutions that will correct these problems.
CALI makes this list of solutions available to a network of
village level workers, community leaders, non-profit and religious organizations.
They, in turn, encourage families living in extreme poverty to achieve a more
self reliant lifestyle by demonstrating these solutions in their community-based
centers.
