This is very serious work that requires extreme focus, attention and strategy. Here’s a short overview of what’s been accomplished to date.

🇺🇦 With the ongoing missile strikes on critical infrastructure throughout Ukraine, GEM has been delivering @honda generators donated by our partners @bellagroup & @yonomequito throughout the frontlines in Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson & Odessa Oblasts. Over 35% of Ukraine’s power grid is down leaving many communities vulnerable to winter weather. To support our missions in Ukraine visit globalempowermentmission.org #Ukraine #Donetsk #Kherson

GEM Asia ambassadors were on the ground in Cianjur

GEM Asia ambassadors were on the ground in Cianjur, Java within 48 hours of the latest string of earthquakes.

As of today, 22,000 homes are damaged and 268 people are already reported dead.
Due to the time of earthquake being midday, many children are part of the causalities.

Our teams are working with local authorities to assess needs. GEM USA West will be shipping a minimum of $500,000 in phase 2 supplies from Oakland California to our local Indonesian ground partners who will manage a structured distribution.

GEM Europe’s @vviktorja on the recent surge of Ukrainian refugees coming back into Poland. We have reactivated our programs to support border walk through and shelters. As of now, there’s still a fairly equal percentage of border crossings going and leaving. Ukrainians are extremely resilient and really don’t want to leave their home’s again. The ones who are leaving just have no choice due to recent bombings. Over 10 M people in Ukraine are without power now. #ukraine #bstrong #medyka

GEM President and Founder, @michaelcapponi signing

GEM President and Founder, @michaelcapponi signing an important MOU with @rotarydistrict6990.

@rotaryinternational is the worlds largest and oldest community volunteer organization providing services in over 190 countries world wide.

GEM was able to operate at 3% in corporate overhead for 2022. This is only made possible due to our smart partnership model that’s disrupting the old, dysfunctional and wasteful previous sector.

RI is also a 4 star rated charity and operates on a lean and healthy budget with over 1.4 M volunteers world wide.

This partnership will drastically increase our global distribution capabilities at no cost to our donors. With partnerships such as these, we are able to get even more aid to more people for less costs. #GEMbstrong #GEMRotary #GEMmissions

Please watch this video giving an overview on WHY and HOW we do what we do.

Our planet is going to experience some very significant changes in the very near future. These changes will affect millions of people.

In order to address these global problems in real time, we have established multiple key branches in centralized areas spanning multiple continents.

Before today’s missile strikes in UKraine and Po

Before today’s missile strikes in UKraine and Poland, our GEM Ukraine teams delivered 4 trucks of GEM Bstrong Family Necessities Kits to Kherson square in Kherson City.

This was the first time that people here had received significant supplies in over 8 months since the region was occupied. It was one of the most impactful and important missions to date. You can see the look of desperation and hope on people’s faces.

The need here is enormous. GEM UKraine has been serving most newly liberated regions on a continual basis.

Our GEM Bstrong teams have been on the ground ass

Our GEM Bstrong teams have been on the
ground assisting #hurricaneian survivors in Florida’s west coast since day one.

To date, our Global Headquarters in Doral, Fl. has sent 53 full size @ucgroup semi trucks with $4,600,755 in aid supplies.

This aid is properly and methodically distributed by a variety of techniques, including partner churches, partner orgs, local and state government and also directly by our teams.

We have recently set up a GEM Hurricane Ian Recovery Hub in Ft. Myers. This hub will hold and distribute our phase 2 program supplies such as thousands of mattresses and rebuild supplies.

In addition, through our @airbnb partnership, we have already relocated 478 individuals.

Here’s a sneak peek into our GEM Ukraine branch

Here’s a sneak peek into our GEM Ukraine branch in Kyiv, Ukraine.

We have created a replicable model that is standardized throughout the world.
This gives our donors the confidence that all our global bases operate in the same manner.

This is a true empowerment model. Our teams in each country are only managed by people from that country. They are the ones who know their country best.

Today, GEM has branches in NW California, (USA West branch), Poland, (Europe branch), Kyiv, (Ukraine branch) and Guatemala, (Latin America branch). They are all identical from an operational standpoint. This gives GEM Bstrong the ability to get aid in real time to areas that can be serviced by each branch.

Our headquarters is based in Doral, Florida, so thousands of emergency aid pallets are already prepositioned here.
