| Micah Projects Inc - MISSION
|
Welcome to our web site.
In 2005 we celebrated our tenth anniversary year as a social justice initiative in collaboration with St Mary's Catholic Community, South Brisbane.
Our Mission: To respond to people who experience exclusion, poverty, injustice and social isolation so that they may experience inclusion, economic wellbeing, justice and connection within their community of choice.
|
|
| VISION |
Our hope is to create justice and respond to injustice at the personal, social and structural levels in church and society.
|
|
| GUIDING PRINCIPLES |
We endorse the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. In responding to individuals, families, groups, communities and institutions we believe that people require:
Access to a broad range of personal, social, intellectual, economic and spiritual resources for personal and community well being
Forums to participate in decisions which impact on their life at an individual, social and structural level
Commitment to equity, acknowledging the impact of age, gender, economic status, disability, sexual orientation, culture and religious belief
A commitment to human rights and ensuring just processes for conflict resolution
Opportunities to redress neglect and abuse of past and or present experiences
Resources to enable restoration of relationships with self, family, community, social and religious institutions.
We are committed to being inclusive and culturally appropriate in our relationship with indigenous people. We embrace the responsibility we have to redress colonisation and dispossession of the indigenous people from their land. We seek to work collaboratively and respectfully with indigenous elders, organisations and members of the local indigenous community.
