Guiding Principles
Vision Statement
Our hope is to create justice and respond to injustice at the personal, social and structural levels in church, government, business and society.
Mission Statement
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.
Guiding Principles
Micah Projects endorses 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 wellbeing
- forums to participate in decisions which impact on their lives 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, personal dignity of individuals 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 acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia as the traditional owners of this land and support the right of Indigenous people to self determination and cultural expression.
