The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) will provide an initial $50,000 in humanitarian aid to help victims of the severe flooding that recently struck Nepal. The flash flood swept through the country’s mountainous northern region August 26, leaving thousands injured, displaced and struggling to meet their basic needs.

The TPRF aid will provide essential supplies such as food and water to those in dire need. Your donations will add to the amount of aid that TPRF will provide.

We have received many compassionate inquiries about the TPRF Food for People program, which provides thousands of daily meals to disadvantaged children in Nepal. We’re pleased to report that the Food for People team, facility and partner schools were unharmed by the flood. The community of Tasarpu, where the program is based, is thousands of feet above the flood zone. However, surrounding areas of the Dhading district were affected at lower elevations.

TPRF is working with local team members to assess the situation and determine how the aid can best help those most in need. Stay tuned for updates.

Thank you to all of our supporters who make humanitarian efforts like this possible. 

The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) will provide an initial $25,000 in humanitarian aid to help victims of the devastating earthquake that recently hit Indonesia. The 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck the Indonesian island of Flores on August 15, leaving thousands of people injured, displaced and struggling to meet their basic needs.

Your support will help us expand our response beyond the initial $25,000 commitment. Every donation will increase TPRF’s ability to help people affected by this disaster.

TPRF is identifying a local partner organization to work with on the ground. Stay tuned for updates.

Update on Colombia & Venezuela Earthquake Relief

“Your kindness and commitment are bringing hope to families facing one of the most difficult moments of their lives,” says Alessandra Piraino, CESVI Corporate and Foundation Officer. “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us and with the people of Venezuela.”

The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) will provide an initial $50,000 in humanitarian aid to help victims of the devastating earthquake that recently hit Colombia. The 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck on August 10, 2026, was the strongest to hit this South American country in over 100 years, leaving thousands of people injured, displaced and struggling to meet their basic needs.

TPRF is identifying a local partner organization best positioned to provide humanitarian aid to those most in need. Stay tuned for updates.

Donations will increase the amount of humanitarian aid TPRF can provide.

“The TPRF aid is possible because of the support and compassion of donors from around the world. Empathy, kindness and understanding are the foundation of what moves us to help those in need and offer a ray of hope. One cannot measure generosity — it belongs to the heart!” – TPRF Board Chair Linda Pascotto.

Thank you!

The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) has formalized its partnership with the Supervision Around the World (SAW) Project, an international nonprofit dedicated to advancing compassionate approaches to criminal justice. The partnership reflects the organizations’ shared belief that TPRF’s Peace Education Program can strengthen rehabilitation by helping people discover their inner resources.

Building on several years of collaboration, the partnership aims to grow awareness of the Peace Education Program as a valuable resource for correctional professionals and their clients.

The SAW Project, founded in 2018, documents and shares unique supervision practices. Through international collaboration and a data-sharing platform, they aim to support criminal justice systems that are humane and focused on building safety in communities. These efforts closely align with the priorities of TPRF work to integrate the Peace Education Program in in global corrections systems.

The Peace Education Program consists of a series of strengths-based and video-based workshops to help people discover their inner resources such as choice, hope and dignity. The program consists of 10 workshop sessions, each focusing on one of the following themes: Peace, Appreciation, Inner Strength, Self-Awareness, Clarity, Understanding, Dignity, Choice, Hope and Contentment.

The program has been implemented in more than 80 countries and 45 languages, with more than 690,000 participants. The program has proven to be effective in corrections settings, with 266,00 incarcerated individuals and criminal justice professionals participating.

Building on their existing relationship, TPRF and the SAW Project entered into a partnership agreement to support continued collaboration.  Peace Education Program Director Willow Baker and SAW Project Founder and CEO Julie Truschel signed the agreement during the 7th World Congress on Probation and Parole held April 2026 in Bali, Indonesia.  More than 4,600 criminal justice professionals from 48 countries attended the conference, themed “Getting Smart on Justice: Healing Hearts & Safer Societies.”

The partnership will focus on sharing knowledge, expanding collaboration and increasing awareness of each organization’s work.

During the congress, Julie Truschel hosted a session featuring Billa Nanra, who shared how the Peace Education Program supported his rehabilitation after incarceration. Today, he facilitates the program for parolees throughout the United Kingdom.

Billa recently reflected on his experience presenting at the American Probation and Parole Association’s 2025 Training Institute in New York.

At the congress TPRF also hosted a workshop highlighting case studies from Malaysia and Australia that demonstrated how the Peace Education Program supports rehabilitation.

Reflecting on their newly-formalized partnership, Willow Baker shared the following: “The SAW Project is doing wonderful work to drive transformational change in community supervision through international collaborative efforts. The 2-Minute Insights interviews featured on the website sawproject.org have inspired many in the field, including myself. We are grateful that Julie Truschel connected Peace Education Program staff to the American Parole and Probation Association in 2020, aiming to benefit community corrections staff and clients alike. She has consistently mentioned this program to those seeking wellbeing initiatives for their teams or clients in community corrections. Working with the SAW Project has truly been a rewarding experience, and I’m excited that our collaboration will continue.”

Julie Truschel, Founder and CEO of the SAW Project, shared:  “Real transformation begins with people. We’re honored to partner with the Peace Education Program to help bring practical tools that foster hope, resilience, and wellbeing to justice professionals and the people they serve around the world. Having witnessed the impact of the Peace Education Program firsthand, we believe its approach aligns beautifully with our vision of advancing compassionate, human-centered justice. We are excited to collaborate in sharing ideas, stories, and opportunities that inspire healthier individuals, stronger organizations, and safer communities.”

In a rapidly changing world, Prem Rawat’s invitation to discover personal peace is as relevant today as ever.

For 60 years, Prem Rawat has encouraged people to explore a simple yet profound possibility: that the peace we seek is not somewhere outside us—it already exists within. While the world has changed dramatically, our deepest questions about happiness, purpose and fulfillment remain the same.

Since first speaking publicly as a child, Prem Rawat has inspired millions of people in more than 100 countries to find greater peace, clarity and self-understanding. Through live events, books, music, the Peace Education Program and other enriching initiatives, his work continues to reach new generations.

As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we also look ahead to a future where more people can experience greater peace, gratitude and joy. Join us in honoring six decades of inspiring people to recognize the peace within us all.

“Changing Times. Timeless Truths.”

“No one will give you a report card saying ‘Now your life has become successful.’ When life becomes successful, your heart knows. When your heart fills with joy, you’ll feel it.” – Prem Rawat

Experiences of loss and grief are a natural part of life, yet they are often left unspoken. In Sabadell, Spain, a local grief support association has begun using the Peace Education Program as a tool to help participants navigate the healing journey after the loss of a loved one.

The Sabadell Mourning Group Association (Asociación Grupo de Duelo de Sabadell) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2003 by individuals who had experienced the profound loss of loved ones. Guided by the belief that grief is more manageable when shared, the organization offers group-based support where participants can find understanding, connection and healing alongside others who have faced similar experiences of loss.

Sabadell Mourning Association’s President and Volunteer Juan Carlos Martin explains that his role is to “accompany people in mourning.” In 2024, he was introduced to The Prem Rawat Foundation’s Peace Education Program  by the local organization, Alliances of Peace (Alianzas de Paz). Shortly after, he invited volunteers of the local association to present the program to members of his center who were going through significant loss.The Peace Education Program has been very well-received by participants of the Sabadell Mourning Association as this 10 minute video shows:

In this video Peace Education Program participants at Sabadell Mourning Association share their perspectives.

The Peace Education Program  consists of 10 workshops, each focused on one of the following themes: Peace, Appreciation, Inner Strength, Self-awareness, Clarity, Understanding, Dignity, Choice, Hope and Contentment. Featuring video presentations by peace educator Prem Rawat, these workshops aim to offer participants time to focus and reflect on their humanity, discovering their own experience of personal peace.

“My first and great love died six months before my mother. I didn’t know who I was anymore,” one Peace Education Program participant, Antonia Carvajal, said. “This workshop has been superb for me. It has helped me immensely to be myself again. It is an inner peace that gives you the help, or push, to move forward.”

Participant Ivonne Auad arrived carrying what she described as “a very heavy backpack.” Grieving both her sister and her mother, she navigated a profound period of loss. Through the Peace Education Program workshops, she was struck by Prem Rawat’s emphasis on knowing oneself. She realized she wanted to get to know herself more, and that she was on a search for herself.

“You have in you upheaval, and you have in you peace. You have in you darkness, and you have in you light. So if you understand that, then it becomes clear, that if peace is within each one of us, then the issue becomes do we know ourselves.” – Prem Rawat

“When you have your inner peace, you can expand everything. Whether we are grieving or not, we sincerely need that peace. And it is very, very important,” reflected Peace Education Program participant Antonia Carvajal, speaking to the program’s relevance for all people, whether they are actively grieving or not.

The experiences of the Sabadell Mourning Group members remind us that while loss is a continuous part of life, so too is the possibility of peace, self-understanding and strength. The Peace Education Program helps people connect to these inner resources by offering space for reflection and self-discovery, amid what is often the hardest part of people’s lives.

The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) will provide $100,000 in humanitarian aid to help victims of the devastating earthquakes that recently hit Venezuela. On June 24, 2026, the back-to-back earthquakes struck northern Venezuela, leaving thousands of people injured, displaced and struggling to meet their basic needs.

TPRF aid will help people cope with the emergency through a partnership with CESVI, a charitable organization well positioned to respond quickly in Venezuela. The TPRF grant to CESVI will help provide food, water and other essentials.

Your support for this effort is very appreciated, and it will also strengthen TPRF’s ability to respond to future humanitarian crises.

“The TPRF aid is possible because of the support and compassion of donors from around the world,” says TPRF Board Chair Linda Pascotto. “Empathy, kindness and understanding are the foundation of what moves us to help those in need and offer a ray of hope.  One cannot measure generosity — it belongs to the heart!”

Stay tuned to the TPRF newsfeed for updates.

On March 28–29, 2026, a two-day eye clinic in Nepal was held at the Food for People facility in Damechaur, Thakre Rural Municipality, Dhading. The clinic was conducted in partnership with The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF), Premsagar Foundation Nepal (PSFN), and Atma Gyan Prachar Sangh.

This partnership brought essential vision care services in Nepal directly to underserved rural communities, where access to specialized healthcare is often limited.

Community volunteers also played a key role in coordination and registration. Rajni Lama, a local volunteer who managed registrations, shared this observation:

“Even though we are near the highway, this area is quite remote. There is no nearby health post, and people have to trek through steep terrain. This clinic was a great opportunity for them. Seeing their happiness makes me proud to serve.”

Expanding Access to Vision Care in Dhading

People from 61 villages across Thakre Rural Municipality in Dhading District and Thaha Municipality in Makwanpur District attended the clinic.

Over the course of two days, the eye clinic provided 1,101 eye examinations, distributed 455 pairs of spectacles and supplied 429 eye drops along with nine ointments. In addition, 143 cases of cataracts were identified for further treatment. Participants ranged in age from 18 months to 92 years, highlighting the broad need for accessible eye care services in Nepal.

Partnership and Community Collaboration

The success of this eye clinic in Nepal reflects strong collaboration between local organizations and medical professionals. A technical team from BP Eye Foundation including ophthalmologists, refractionists and community eye specialists delivered expert care.

Local volunteers, including health assistants, teachers, and community leaders, supported outreach efforts. Door-to-door engagement helped ensure that people in remote areas could access these vital eye care services in Nepal.

Local leadership emphasized the importance of preparation and outreach in making the clinic successful. Raj Kumar Gurung, an elected official of Thakre-8 municipality shared:

“This organization stands out because of its thorough preparation. Unlike others who focus on media publicity, they conducted local meetings and sent invitations door-to-door through ward offices, health workers, and schools. Every person I spoke to was highly impressed by the management and the doctors.”

Adapting to Community Needs

Despite challenging weather conditions, the clinic continued smoothly due to its indoor setup. Many participants who were unable to attend on the first day returned on the second. The high turnout underscored the dire need for such clinics in the region.

With a higher number of elderly participants on the second day, additional time and screening capacity were added to ensure everyone received care.

Durga Datta Ghimire, General Secretary of the PSFN, noted that discovering such a high number of cataract cases underscores the need for focused eye healthcare in the area. 

Community Impact of the Eye Clinic

Medical teams identified common eye conditions affecting the community. Refractive errors were frequently seen in children, while older adults experienced cataracts, dry eyes, and vision impairment. Importantly, these early diagnoses play a critical role in preventing avoidable vision loss and improving quality of life.

The clinic was met with strong appreciation from participants and local leaders. Many individuals received their first professional eye exam, along with glasses or medication. Others were diagnosed with cataracts and guided toward further treatment, demonstrating the importance of accessible cataract screening in Nepal.

Volunteers expressed pride in supporting an initiative that brought meaningful health benefits to communities facing geographic and financial barriers.

Supporting Sustainable Eye Care in Nepal

Through partnership-based initiatives like this, The Prem Rawat Foundation supports practical solutions that expand access to eye care in Nepal.

By bringing services closer to communities, these efforts help restore vision, improve independence and create lasting positive impact.
