Our Mission

Pave the Way Foundation  is a non-sectarian organization dedicated to achieving peace by closing the gap in tolerance, education and the practical relations between religions, through cultural, technological and intellectual exchanges. We strive to eliminate the use of religion as a tool which, historically has been used, by some, to achieve personal agendas and to cause conflicts.

Through our inter-religious projects of identification and elimination of obstacles and our concrete gestures of good will,  we utilize our earned level of trust, in order to "pave the way" towards  improving inter-religious relations and by encouraging intra-religious relations. We task the faithful of all beliefs that the true danger  to international peace is the extremists that exist within every faith.

The Vision of Pave the Way

Embrace our similarities Savor our differences.
The meaning of our slogan is simple. We must embody the messages of charity, love, and responsibility for every human being, common to all of our faiths, our beliefs and to the code of human behavior. We focus on our similarities and savor our differences by learning, through the positive and practical appreciation of the World's diverse religions and beliefs. We must not allow the differences to poison us, with bigotry, hatred, and intolerance. Instead, we wish to learn, enhance our own beliefs and in turn savor our differences.
