Colin: After a long and steady career, Colin suddenly found himself unemployed due to the global economic downturn. He found it challenging to get back into the workforce. Colin spent many hours at Lotus Place focusing on updating his skills through training opportunities, learning to use the computers and email, searching the web and networking, all in order to secure himself a job that he actually liked and made use of his skills. He was successful in changing his career to an area he is not only passionate about but in which he excels. Colin has now been earning a good wage as a Traffic Controller for the last 6 months.

50 Lives 50 Homes Campaign

Micah Projects is a community organisation with an unswerving commitment to social justice.

We believe that every child and adult has the right to a home, an income, health care, education, safety, dignity and connection with their community of choice. Micah Projects provides a range of support and advocacy services to individuals and families.

Without the support of the Queensland Government, our donors and supporters, we could not provide vital services to the community.
