Haiti
TPRF had previously been at work addressing the need for clean water in Haiti; since the catastrophic earthquake in 2010 TPRF supporters have been involved in a record-breaking fund-raising effort for victims of the quake through a Facebook/Causes initiative. TPRF is making a series of grants to help earthquake survivors immediately and for the longer term.

2010, February — Post-Earthquake Water Distribution
A grant of US$50,000 from The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) will help provide a two-week supply of bottled water for 42,000 people in Haiti; distribute purification sachets to produce 13 million gallons of potable water to communities where none is available; and distribute oral rehydration solution and salts (ORS) to treat 125,000 children and adults at risk of severe dehydration and water-borne illnesses.

2010, January — Grant for Food for Earthquake Victims in Haiti
Within days of the earthquake in Haiti, The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) made a donation of US$50,000 to provide immediate food aid for survivors. TPRF teamed up with one of its ongoing partners, Friends of the World Food Program. The World Food Program (WFP) was able to begin delivering food within 24 hours of the disaster, since it has an already-established aid operation in Haiti, long ranked as the poorest nation in the western hemisphere.

2009, April – Grant for Water Aid in Haiti
TPRF gave a $20,000 grant to address a dire shortage of clean water in Haiti. Over 7,000 people will be helped over the course of the coming year. Linda Pascotto, President of TPRF, says, “Our hearts go out to the children and people of Haiti, who suffer from such severe malnutrition, dehydration, and disease. It is part of our mission to help provide human beings with the simple basics in life—clean water to drink, to cook with, to bathe in, and basic nutrition—in hopes of living a better life and with dignity.”
