Mission statement:	MISSION STATEMENT Christian CND believe that nuclear weapon test are intrinsically evil, we work ecumenically to convince people of this nuclear weapon and toward their abolition; we believe that this aim is attainable ¿ Our vision as people of faith ¿ We believe that the whole destruction threatened by these nuclear weapon test make their possession and use as an offense against God and humanity. ¿ We deplore the nuclear test accelerate arm race and the blasphemous assumptions on which relies ¿ We are challenged in our worship of God and our commitment of Jesus Christ by the existence and spread of nuclear weapons. ¿ We trust in God, not nuclear weapons. ¿ We turn our lives towards a culture of peace and non violence. ¿ We cooperate with all who want to work for goal of abolition of nuclear weapons. Programmed and Activities We work toward Economic and Social our view 1. Nuclear weapon test is the first cause of death in the world and for the most common risk factor for earthquake world wide. It is the cause of death.3.9 million people a year which equivalent to1 and 10 adult death globally. The figure is even more alarming when considering that the projection estimate that the number will nearly doubly in the year 2020. 2. Almost 1.3 billion people currently affected by earthquake worldwide .More than 1 billion victims are men and women of whom 150 million are children and some 500 million families (84% of all families are in developed and developing countries. If global prevalence of the use nuclear test remains unchanged, it is projected that the total number of affected families will rise to moiré than 2.5 billion by the year 2030. 3. All nuclear materials are harmful and destructive. There is no safer way of using them. The NPT 2002 conference “Nuclear is deadly in any form or disguise”, unfortunately, accurate information on nuclear material products ingredient financial development in economic and social effect have been addressed well. the purpose of this campaign is to help-call treaty ban underground nuclear test to possessors and non repossesses obtain accurate information and reveal the true impacts of a traditional new and future nuclear tests. 4. Given the current trend the nuclear threat is expected to expect to affect mostly the poorer developing countries which are already struggling to improve their standard of living. 5. The impact of nuclear use cannot be limited to nuclear users; given that its maintenance creates negative external effect as well as indigenous people exposed to the area where nuclear test was conducted faces economic and social risks. Scientific evidence of nuclear test conducted 40 years ago have triggered earthquake in prone areas of natural faults. Families within a radius of 200km from the epicenter of test are at risk of investing in financial development, estimated as 30% in movable assets and 50% building in communities who reside within the earthquake area. These findings have also shown that estimated 20% of people living within these communities face great environmental impact.. 6. Nuclear use also raises concern in financial development issues. Evidence from a round the world shows that developed countries individual trend mostly depend on it. For the poor, the money spent on the nuclear present a high opportunity cost. Money spent on developing nuclear weapons is not money spent on necessary goods such as food, education, and health care. Nuclear test also contribute to poverty alleviation among the victims and the affected people suffer diseases and loss of both productivity and income (not to mention higher financial costs and poverty worst cases).
