The Prem Rawat Foundation

I have been donating to TPRF for many years
I am astonished at how the peace Education Program has transformed lives in many Countries including in prisons and in Education. Also the Food for people Facilities in 3 Countries have fed and also transformed the lives of very poor people.

It is a comfort and inspiration to know that The Prem Rawat Foundation exists.

I can make my small contributions knowing with certainty that it is appreciated and used with utmost integrity and the truest respect for human well-being on all levels, from basic daily needs of nutritious food and clean water to emergency supplies in times of disaster, to practical education in hygiene, growing food, vocational training, facilitating higher education, and making available the Peace Education Program to diverse groups of people of all socio-economic backgrounds, from youth to the elderly.

It is deeply comforting, inspiring, motivating to me.

I have supported TPRF for many years. Not only for its core interest of changing people's lives through the practice and recognition of Peace and the interest for helping others on situations of catastrofic natural situations and the actions to care for a healthy planet.
TPRF promotes the good on people, by he people, with also high regards for the volunteers.

I have been a volunteer and a supporter of TPRF for several years.

I have done typing, transcription, other computer related roles and, more recently, have been a volunteer for its Peace Education Program, assisting the facilitator and taking attendance.

I cannot say enough about this organization. The opportunity to help in even a small way means more than I can say.

What stands out to me the most is the word "Dignity" in its three-fold purpose identifier (Dignity, Peace, Prosperity). This organization exemplifies this in so many different ways. Its programs all encourage that dignity for all people, whether the mission is to feed people, provide water to a community or to teach about peace.

The integrity of TPRF seems to be at its core, as well as the fact that its hundreds of volunteers are truly sincere about the mission of TPRF and of its founder, Prem Rawat. That is what makes this program so meaningful to me.

I am proud of tprf's efforts to help people all around the world.
Trustworthy , in a world where too many groups are not , to help in many countries where people face difficult situations , even life threatening ones .
I wish I could make larger donations because i know they go for very good causes , real human needs, food , education , eyeglasses, and more . So I am glad to help in a small way.

Numerous wonderful experience with TPRF since its existence

Absolutely great work and total transparency of funds!
Be it free food, water,medical care or disaster relief, they do it all with good results and integrity!

My favorite charity and also the best in the way it is managed, and the way funds are distributed toward humanitarian, relief, and peace efforts, in countries all around the world.

I've been patronizing this charity and watching and reading about its activities. I am so impressed with how they involve the people who benefit so that the benefits preserve the dignity of the people.

i have been supporting The Prem Rawat Foundation since its inception in 2001. Its mission is to address the fundamental human needs for food, water, and peace. TPRF partners with local organizations to meet fundamental needs for food and water in some very under served areas around the world (e.g., Nepal, Ghana, Bantoli, india), and it does so while preserving the culture, sense of pride, and dignity in the people who receive its care. TPRF also offers a free Peace Education Program in many places around the world where people are looking for personal peace - ranging from prisons to community centers, from adult education classrooms to wellness centers and more. TPRF is a dynamic and energized globallly active foundation whose volunteers come from every walk of life, have diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious (and non-religious) backgrounds, and who simply want to help people to have their best chance in the world at peace, dignity, and prosperity.

I recently went on the tprf.org website and looked up their humanitarian projects. Quite an amazing record. I am happy to help support their efforts.

TPRF brings food, water and education to the poorest in the world and hope to the most down-trodden. Working for them and learning about them has been one of the most important things I have done in my life. The prison outreach program has had great success helping those who choose to change their lives actually make that change and become law abiding, peace loving and positive members of society.

The Prem Rawat Foundation has a program called the Peace Education Program.

I am a volunteer on the Peace Education Program ( PEP ) for Veterans , a Pilot Program here in Asheville NC . We hope to take the program to young veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan . I personally have benefitted from being a facilitator in feeling more resolved in my Life to enjoy and be in Peace with my self and others and helping others to also understand and experience Peace using the PEP.

The PEP is now found in prisons,  senior facilities, hospitals, universities, colleges, adult 
education associations and community centers, impacting lives around the world.

The Prem Rawat Foundation has other programs addressing the fundamental human needs of food, water and peace so that people can live with dignity, peace and prosperity.

I am a very grateful to the Prem Rawat Foundation

I am a current volunteer for The Prem Rawat Foundation. TPRF recognizes that there are certain fundamental needs that people must have in order to live life with dignity. What distinguishes this Foundation from others, is the recognition that Peace is as fundamental a need as clean water and food. Under the direction of Prem Rawat, the board, and a large group of international volunteers, we strive to make the message of peace within available to as many people as possible, regardless of where they live and their life circumstance.

When a person has peace, they have everything. At least, this is my experience.

I have been a volunteer for TPRF since its inception (the Foundation was actually started on my birthday in 2001). It's motto is Peace, Dignity and Prosperity, a formula that always makes our shared humanity it's number one priority. I feel very honored to be a part of this organization and have the upmost respect for its founder Prem Rawat, Ambassador of Peace.

This is peer run Charitable Foundation. There are two paid staff, all others, in all corners of the world, are Volunteers. It is exceptional to have an entire org. run by Volunteers!

I have been supporting this charity since its inception because i so admire its caring efforts to provide nourishing food, clean water and dignity to some of the poorest people in the world.

So glad to play a small part in supporting The Prem Rawat Foundation for all the good work they do when most of the media wants to tell us how bad things are.

I have had an opportunity to participate in a number of fund raising events for this organization. I have been so touched by their work and with the integrity in which there fund raising is done. Most of the people associated with this organization operate from a heart base and the company of just the volunteers has made for wonderful events, and time spent together for the greater good of helping those in need. Thank you TPRF for all you do with such high regards to peoples dignity. Rosiland Whiteley

What I liked about this Foundation is the reach to remote places. Usually Organizations put in their efforts where the media attention can be achieved, but this organization I've seen; they go to places so remote, we don't even know exist! They've put in lots of efforts in my village Bantoli near Ranchi, which is nothing less than miracle for the village and the vicinity!

I’ve had the chance to serve on the Board of Directors for two non-profits, as a Programs Director of a third, and currently as a partner in a company that provides fundraising services to this sector. I have three observations about TPRF that I’d like to share.
First, by many criteria, TPRF is a tiny organization. But its size belies its impact. It leverages its effectiveness through partnerships with larger entities that respect its management and responsiveness. Over 50 such charitable organizations have co-ventured with TPRF on urgent humanitarian projects dealing with food or water - organizations such as Oxfam and Mercy Corps.
Secondly, it publishes externally audited financial statements annually. It should be noted that it surpasses the high standards for financial transparency as recognized by third parties such as Charity Navigator and GuideStar.
And finally, it distinguishes itself in its peace work. It actively creates programs that address peace as a basic human right, like the right to food and water. And while it does this at a very human and individual level, the uniqueness of this work has been recognized by significant global entities such as the United Nations Association and the European Parliament.
In summary, the actions of TPRF over the past 11 years have withstood the tests of time and scrutiny and speak with much more authority than I ever could.

There are many great nonprofits which deserve our support My personal choice is TPRF As well as its humanitarian aid centered around key essentials such as clean water ,nutritious food and eye care it provides a inspiring message of peace regardless of race religion or lifestyle. Its Peace Education Programs designed to be used in a variety of organizations has recently nurtured the feeling of peace in many prison environments throughout the world. TPRF's core people are small in number but large in heart. This enables that the maximum amount of funds end up where the most good can be done. The Foundation chooses their partners wisely to facilitate aid as quickly as possible and to support self reliance and accountability amongst recipients. With great confidence I can recommend this Foundation to anyone wanting to make a difference.

Seeing smiling people's faces makes it real for me. TPRF keeps the dignity and humanity of those people by not making them a simple statistic. It also helps that I admire its founder, Prem Rawat and his relentless effort to bring message of peace to four corners of the world.

TPRF has become my charity of choice for a couple of reasons: One, the dedication to a concrete value for the programs they support and initiate. Two, because of the person who founded it, Prem Rawat, who has held a remarkable consistency of purpose to teach the value and preciousness of life and this passion permeates the whole of the foundation and all the people involved and I truly enjoy the results of their wonderful programs too.

Sharing is caring. In a world lacerated by greed and selfishness, the effort of TPRF, helping the needed around the globe, is greatly inspirational. Once I've heard to the true revolution will happen the day that every human being on this planet will have its basics needs covered. To me, this is a practical way to help make that possible.

this organization is helping a lot of people all over the world.

I have been a supporter of TPRF since its inception and from time to time I get correspondence about the work that is being done, the care and consideration that comes from TPRF is so heart warming, the smiles on the faces is absolutely rewarding. I have witnessed the work of one of the directors and my jaw dropped at the dedication to accomplishing a task with amazing perfection. I only wish I could more.

I have been a TPRF contributor since its inception more than ten years ago and a volunteer on its core team for almost 3 years. Especially during these recent years of being so close to the organization, I have found myself more and more amazed at how much TPRF accomplishes through the combined global efforts of volunteers and contributors like me. There are so many generous, dedicated people making TPRF what it is, each in his or her own way. I feel honored and uplifted to be one of them. Between TPRF and its supporters there is a kind of mutual admiration society. TPRF respects them, and they respect TPRF. I think many people share the feeling of amazement at what the simple and heartfelt good will of people can do through TPRF. To me, the guidance and the inspiration of TPRF's founder is the key to this overflowing good feeling. TPRF is still something of a "best kept secret," but I see that changing with programs like Food for People, now in India, Nepal, and Ghana, and Peace for People all over the world. To me, these two program titles -- Food for People and Peace for People -- summarize the TPRF story beautifully. I truly hope that TPRF will continue to gain the positive recognition it deserves, not because TPRF needs the recognition, but because I know that each person who begins to notice the goodness of TPRF is fortunate and richly blessed. Look and look again at TPRF. Absolutely, check the transparent financial reports that have earned it consistent top rankings from the analysts. By all means, explore its many wonderful projects to advance food, water, and peace globally. And listen for yourself to what TPRF’s founder has to say about food, water, and peace. Keep looking in all these ways and perhaps you will start to sense the quality of the feeling behind all this. That feeling is what I find unique, beautiful, and unforgettable.

I am always amazed how a relatively small public foundation, powered by volunteers, can make such a positive impact internationally. There are many wonderful organizations that help provide the fundamental needs of food and water, but what makes The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) unique is that it promotes the understanding that personal peace is also a fundamental human need, and it fosters dignity, peace and prosperity. I’m honored to be a volunteer for TPRF.

I enjoy donating to the Prem Rawat Foundation. I recently contributed this year as i did last for the World Water Day. The Adventure Project partnered with the Prem Rawat Foundation to help raise money to provide clean drinking water to over 200,000 people in India. What is great about this program is it works to provide a sustainable solution to help bring clean drinking water to people and help them maintain there water wells. It is nice to see your money go for good, make a difference and get reports back on where your money goes. I look forward to more great projects with the The Prem Rawat Foundation

I appreciate the regular blog posts with the details of where my donations are going. There is a great need for accountability in this day and age and I am comforted to know that even my small donation is making a difference in others lives. Knowing that a certain dollar amount provided water for 100,000 people matters to me. I'm thanked via email for every donation I make which is also a plus. Making some small bit of difference matters and knowing the specifics of what is being provided to those in need on a global scale matters too.

In Latinamerica the Prem Rawat Foundation has done great things, including providing help to reroof after a hurricane in Mexico, help in the quechua communities in the andes and great outreach programs in prisons.
The fact that most of the money collected goes to help and is very transparent helps me to donate.
Overall it is success story of a grass roots organization.

I've watched with keen interest the work of TPRF and seen something different in the way they operate and their grass roots efforts to help people directly. This is the kind of non profit the world needs more of without layer after layer of administrative expenses and salaries chewing up the money that would otherwise go toward people that really need it.

A different Foundation whose aims are: bringing trusting new humanitarian actions who with intelligence are bringing a real movement of change in different regions in need of the world like countryside India, Ghana, Nepal and so on. Food for People is one of the really intelligent projects together with offering free ophthalmic help to people in need of eyeglasses in India. I, as a medical doctor, I appreciate and contribute to the Foundation goals and I can witness its goodness because I sow myself, with my eyes, one of the successful achievement of the Foundation: Bantoli Food for People. This Foundation and its actions are something to know, to investigate, and to study because of the great ideas which are involved within it.

For me the Prem Rawat Foundation has found the right balance between providing care and assistance where needed, without creating a continuing dependence on that care. The Food for People program in particular, has created a model for change which is reproducible and sustainable on any scale. Facilities in Nepal, India and soon in Ghana, provide nutritious food and clean water in a way that utilizes local produce and once under way, is sustained by the villagers themselves. The core mission behind these and other projects, as outlined by Prem Rawat, is to address fundamental human needs so that people everywhere can live their lives with dignity, peace, and prosperity. My experience in working with this Foundation is that these are not just "nice words" but are put into practice in a real and effective way.

This is my charity of choice when donating to ease the suffering of people around the world. I know Prem Rawat travels extensively around the world and regularly visits the areas his charity targets. I also trust this charity to research worthy programs and execute them diligently. And what is always nice when giving to charity is to see a very large percentage of the donation actually going to the program rather than 'overheads', which this largely volunteer-run charity can afford to do.

A year ago I was involved in efforts to raise funds for TPRF's third "Food for People" initiative. After considerable research, a location in Ghana was selected and a new facility will be constructed next year. Rather than a one-off donation of food, these permanent facilities provide on-going food aid to some of the most disadvantaged people on the planet. They are instrumental in lifting entire communities out of the poverty cycle, and they provide a model for future global initiatives to alleviate poverty in third world countries. Charity Navigator has awarded TPRF a 5 star (highest) rating. http://www.tprf.org

Giving for others from your personal recources is so pleasant every time you do it because it directly connects you to the very spot inside where the joy and freedom reigns. Feel deep respect for a person like Mr. Rawat whose Tprf sends our pennies where they are mostly needed thus making us and the receivers bloom. j.lundstrom

I have found the only, and wish to remark, the only person on this our earth who sincerely is making every human understand that PEACE is the only unswer to all the problems produced by man, his name is Prem Rawat, also known as Maharaji. At the age of 8 years old, He has shown full prof of this fact to all those who have have asked the " most obvious secret" about self-knowledge and proven HOW EQUAL ARE ALL MEN. Yes! You and I whant fullfilment, love, clarity, only Maharaji can provide that and more. Just be sincere .... look for Him.
