Welcome to Micah Challenge

Micah Challenge is a global coalition of Christians holding governments to account for their promise to halve extreme poverty by 2015. We are establishing a global movement to encourage deeper Christian commitment to the poor, and to speak out to leaders to act with justice.

What does the LORD require of you? To do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)
