We are still a long way from carrying out our commitment to the world’s poor. One vital roadblock is poor governance and corruption. Open for Service is Micah Challenge's investigation into the practical and theological issues of corruption and poor governance.

This one-page introduction from Micah Challenge International outlines the 10 10 10 global campaign and the steps that are proposed for marking this significant date.

The prayers and background information set out here are designed to help children and adults pray about eight basic issues of poverty outlined in the Millennium Development Goals.
