Made for Life is the strategic plan for a Resilience Programme for the 100+ children (aged 4-11 years) living in Apollo Estate, the most deeply marginalised Aboriginal urban ghetto in Australia. Apollo Estate is in Dubbo - outback Australia, a relatively closed community of about 400 homes, with close to 85% of the adult population addicted to Meth and other substances. Many of the children have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, mulnutrition, and/or carrying weapons.

The Resilience Programme is located in the heart of the Apollo Estate, in a small community centre dedicated to the child residence. Made for Life is the strategic plan to set the Resilience Programm up as a self-funding social enterprisee, developed after the Australian Government started investigating “bulldozing” down the estate. It was designed to ensure that the resilience programme is financially self-sufficient with long term sustainability.
