The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) TPF works to fulfill a dual purpose: bringing Prem Rawat’s message of peace to people around the world and providing essential humanitarian aid to those who need it most.
Message of Peace
For most of his life, Prem Rawat has been bringing a message of peace and hope to people everywhere, from simple villages to large metropolitan areas, from prisons to opera houses, from small gatherings to large arenas. His message has reached millions more through video, television broadcasts, and the Internet. TPRF helps to make Prem Rawat’s message of peace widely available by sponsoring some of his addresses and producing webcasts, podcasts, DVDs, and a variety of print materials.
Humanitarian Aid
Based on Prem Rawat’s vision, TPRF has developed a model program called Food for People that serves nutritious daily meals year-round at clean, modern, permanent facilities in Bantoli, India, and in Dhading District, Nepal. Focusing on providing the essential aid of food, water, eye care, and disaster relief, the Foundation also partners with reputable nonprofit organizations such as Friends of the World Food Program, Oxfam, Action Against Hunger, or the Red Cross, to bring food, water, and disaster relief rapidly to where it is most needed.
In 2006, TPRF was honored at a special event at the UN in New York for its contribution to the UN Development Programme’s “Community Water Initiative” in Ghana.
Some of TPRF's recent efforts have helped provide millions of nutritious hot meals after natural disasters in Indonesia, Pakistan, Ivory Coast, Niger, Guatemala, the Philippines, Peru, and the U.S. Recently, the Foundation has also sponsored 10,000 free medical consultations and, in partnership with Oxfam, provided clean water to war victims in the Middle East.
In 2006, TPRF opened “Food for People,” a food-aid facility in a tribal area in northeastern India, where 100,000 free hot meals are distributed each year to people in desperate need. The results have already been life changing: many adults have been able to go back to work and more children are in school. TPRF is considering opening three improved facilities before 2012 in other areas.
