What is Micah Challenge?
Micah Challenge is a global campaign to mobilise Christians against poverty. The campaign aims to deepen Christian engagement with impoverished and marginalised communities, and to influence leaders of rich and poor nations to fulfil their promise to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Micah Challenge was launched globally on 15 October 2004 as a joint project of the World Evangelical Alliance and the Micah Network. Tearfund was one of the founding members. You'll find more information on the Micah Challenge International website.
