Micah Challenge UK

As one of 39 campaigns worldwide it forms part of the wider international Micah Challenge movement of Christians seeking to hold governments to account to see that the Millennium Development Goals are met by 2015 at which point, the organisation closed down.

[citation needed] By the end of 2006 an executive team with a number of working groups were meeting regularly in addition to the UK Board of Directors.

[5] The Blow the Whistle campaign focused on calling on the Government to honour its commitments set in the Millennium Development Goals, aimed to halve global poverty by 2015.

Around 850 people took part in a worship service held at Methodist Central Hall including representatives of some of the world's poorest nations.

The worshippers then joined The World Can’t Wait[6] rally where people with placards lined both sides of the banks of the Thames as whistles were blown, car horns were honked and alarms went off to make a deafening signal to the government that the world can't wait to end poverty.
