About the Foundation
Prem Rawat
Prem Rawat’s message of peace resonates with audiences from all walks of life, regardless of their education, beliefs, age or status. He has travelled the world speaking to people in large and small gatherings across the globe since he was 13 years of age.
In the last 10 years, he has become widely known as an ambassador of peace, bringing a message that world peace starts with individual peace and that every individual has the potential to discover peace within themselves. He speaks to people from all cultures and backgrounds, from prominent government groups such as the European Parliament to open events in large cities and small villages.
As a result of the Peace Education Programme, he has been invited to speak at universities, private groups such as the Young Presidents’ Organisation, a Soweto youth advisory group and many prisons on five continents.
The Foundation
In 2001 he set up The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF), which is described below.
The mission of TPRF is to address the fundamental human needs of food, water and peace. Through a variety of programmes and initiatives, TPRF is dedicated to helping build a world at peace, one person at a time, so that people can live with dignity, peace and prosperity.
Forums for Peace: TPRF works to advance Prem Rawat’s message that peace is possible for each individual. Initiatives include international events with government, education and business leaders to promote understanding of individual peace as the basis for world peace.
Peace Education Programme (PEP): The Peace Education Programme helps
people discover inner resources such as strength, choice and hope as well as
to explore the possibility of personal peace. The curriculum is based on 10
DVDs, each focusing on a particular theme.
Food for People (FFP): Food for People is a model programme that provides
hot, nutritious meals in the local cuisine to children and ailing adults. Opened first in Bantoli, India (2006), then Tasarpu, Nepal (2009) and Otinibi, Ghana (2012), the programme has been credited with improving community health, increasing school attendance and inspiring hope in the communities served.
