Interreligious dialogue is most effective when it springs from the experience of "living with each other" from day to day within the same community and culture... The positive experiences must strengthen our communities in the hope of peace; and the negative experiences should not be allowed to undermine that hope.
-Pope John Paul II

So let our differences not cause hatred and strife between us. Let us vie with each other only in righteousness and good works. Let us respect each other, be fair, just and kind to another and live in sincere peace, harmony and mutual goodwill
- A Common Word between Us and You (by 138 Muslim scholars)

Africa is a multi-ethnic and -religious continent, with approximately 95% of its people adherents of Christianity, Islam or African traditional religions. Although these faiths share many values, religious conflict is common to many countries. Often what appears to be a religious dispute is fueled by other factors:

• Competition for scarce resources;
• Political differences;
• Rampant corruption
• Poor instruction in the beliefs of  a particular faith;
• The desperation of poverty;
• The appeal to religious differences for political advantage.

Kathryn was born to a Muslim father and a Christian mother. She had direct experience of the ability of Christians and Muslims to live in peace and harmony. Religious strife in the world was often a source of pain for Kathryn; she understood it usually to be conflict for power. To fight against it, Kathryn, with like-minded Christians and Muslims, attended conferences and spoke out to promote dialogue and understanding between the faiths. She strongly believed the major religions share the desire for social justice, moral values, peace and freedom.

KHH foundation will seek out avenues to educate people on the different religions and also engage the different faiths in dialogue.
