Welcome to Micah Projects Inc
A social justice initiative in collaboration with St Mary's Catholic Community, South Brisbane.
Micah Projects Inc mission is to respond to people who experience exclusion, poverty, injustice
and social isolation so that they may experience inclusion, economic well being, justice and connection
within their community of choice. Our hope is to create justice and respond to injustice at the personal,
social and structural levels in church and society. We seek to work collaboratively and respectfully with
the indigenous community. We embrace our responsibility to redress the dispossession of
indigenous people from their land.

Which Way Home Summary
After 17 years of economic growth, homelessness in Australia remains unacceptably high. Every night 100,000 Australians are homeless.

They are not sufficient in number to have enough impact.
A new approach is required – one that brings people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness
from the margins in to the mainstream and provides them with opportunities the rest of us take for
granted – a good education, decent health care and a secure place to call home.

and efforts of the business community.
