Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
In 2011 TPRF expanded its Peace Education Program to support the many initiatives that have been making Prem Rawat’s message of peace available in prisons and other institutions. Currently, inmates at over 25 prisons on six continents are attending weekly workshops where they watch videos brought to them by TPRF volunteers. Reports of improved attitude, lower levels of violence, and lower numbers of released participants returning to prison have been noted by a number of prison officials.
TPRF funded 17 humanitarian aid grants in 10 countries in 2011, focusing on the primary needs of nutritious food, clean water, and disaster relief in partnership with other nonprofit organizations. In addition, TPRF continues to fund eye clinics in rural areas of India that provide eye exams and corrective lenses at no charge to people who could not otherwise afford them. The Foundation has developed a model food-aid program called Food for People that helps communities to break out of the cycle of poverty by providing indigenous hot meals to children and the sick and elderly. The programs have helped enable children to return to school and ailing adults to return to work. Three permanent Food for People facilities are now in operation, one in Bantoli, India since 2006; one in the Dhading region of Nepal since 2009; and one in Otinibi, Ghana since 2012. Each facility provides over 100,000 hot meals a year.

Program Description:
Food for People is food-aid program designed to help rural communities emerge from the downward cycle of poverty. In consultation with village elders, two facilities are in operation, one that opened in 2006 in Bantoli, India and one that opened in 2009 in the Dhading District of Nepal. Each serves over 130,000 meals a year to children and elderly or ill adults per year with the objective of enabling children to go to school and malnourished adults to gain strength needed to return to work. A third Food for People facility is slated to open in 2011.
Program Long-Term Success:
The program in India has resulted in measurable improvement in health of both children and adults, a substantial increase in school attendance, increased ability of adults to support their families, and an understanding of the relationship of hygiene and good health.
The program in India, which opened in 2009, has already been credited with a 65% increase in school attendance, necessitating the addition of a secondary school in the area.
