Yesterday, @globalempowermentmission (GEM), in partnership with @welove_foundation supported over 6,000 Venezuelan #earthquake survivors in Catia La Mar, La Guaira.
This critical distribution took place at the Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church of @caritasdevzla
Key Highlights of Our Operations:
Massive Scale: As an official @statedept partner, GEM manages aid from all 50 states across our 250,000+ square feet of @prologis warehouse spaces in south Florida.
Full Independence: The logistics and systems you see in this video represent how we operate. GEM functions independently of any previous political orders or government decrees.
Global Track Record: Having executed missions in 78 countries, GEM maintains a strict policy: no government takes or receives aid from us. We control the entire process from the initial intake to last-mile delivery.
How You Can Help:
Please donate through the links in our bio. Cash donations are critical to help us mobilize and distribute these supplies efficiently.
We are fully committed to shipping and delivering over $35 million in aid over the next 6 months. To sustain this long-term commitment, GEM and I Love #Venezuela is establishing a permanent presence in Venezuela, with our new @globalempowermentmissionlatam Headquarters being set up right here in #Caracas. Distributions as this one will occur daily throughout all affected areas.

Como socio oficial del Departamento de Estado de EE. UU., GEM coordina ayuda humanitaria desde un almacén de más de 250.000 pies² en el sur de Florida. Con operaciones en 78 países, gestionamos todo el proceso de forma independiente, desde la recepción hasta la entrega final.

La ayuda sigue llegando. 🙏🇻🇪🇺🇸
En una entrevista para @noticierovenevision transmitida en vivo desde La Guaira @luisvelasquezq01 director para Latinoamérica de @globalempowermentmissionlatam, confirmó que la ayuda humanitaria continúa siendo distribuida entre las familias y comunidades más afectadas por los terremotos en Venezuela.
Este esfuerzo conjunto entre @globalempowermentmission y @welove_foundation mantiene un compromiso de asistencia sostenida durante los próximos meses, trabajando de manera independiente y en coordinación con organizaciones locales para garantizar que la ayuda llegue a quienes más la necesitan. Esta labor cuenta con el respaldo y la facilitación del Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos.
Gracias de corazón a todos los que han donado. Su solidaridad está haciendo posible que la ayuda continúe llegando de forma constante a las víctimas de esta tragedia.
Si aún deseas colaborar, tu apoyo sigue siendo fundamental. Cada donación, sin importar su monto, hace la diferencia. #globalempowermentmission #welovefoundation #ayudahumanitariaparavenezuela #ayudahumanitariavenezuela #venezuela

To ensure the fastest and most effective distribution of relief supplies, GEM is not accepting donations of used clothing, shoes, linens, or similar items at this time. We appreciate your understanding as we focus on the critical supplies most urgently needed by families affected by this disaster.
Today marked our first major distribution in #Macuto. These initial critical loads were flown into #Venezuela via cargo flights from our @globalempowermentmission headquarters in Doral, Fl. This commences a daily schedule of 1–2 incoming flights along with high-capacity maritime sea containers. Due to the immense support of the Venezuelan diaspora in the US along with hundreds of US companies, we anticipate transporting over 15,000 pallets of aid. (Approx 4 football fields of aid).
In today’s deployment, we distributed our specialized family necessity kits to thousands of survivors. Additionally, vital pallets of generators and tents were successfully delivered directly to the camps.
This is just the beginning of our $35 million commitment of aid to Venezuela for 2026 alone. This effort is a private/public partnership with GEM & @statedept along with @welove_foundation.
Special thanks to @oceanbankus and @manacommon. Thank you @caritasdevzla for your local support.
Our first humanitarian cargo plane arrived in Caracas, Venezuela today.
This marks a major milestone in GEM’s earthquake response as critical relief supplies begin reaching families affected by this devastating disaster.
Moving forward, one to two humanitarian cargo planes carrying emergency aid will arrive daily on behalf of GEM, ensuring a continuous flow of life-saving supplies to those who need them most.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, and made this mission possible. Together, we are delivering hope to Venezuela. #GEM @statedept @welove_foundation #humanitarian #relief
GEM Founder & President @michaelcapponi in #Caracas, #Venezuela speaking to @cnn about the necessary systems and methods implemented to properly respond to a disaster of this magnitude.
GEM is committed to delivering 20 M in supplies and support for the Venezuelan people from the United States. Thanks to our smart partnership with @prologis, we’ve expanded our warehousing space from 56,000 to now 200,000 sq ft.
We are amassing aid from every major US company and drives around America. This aid will be transported and shipped to our Venezuelan branches and then to hundreds of various localized distribution points throughout the region.
We are officially committing to shipping over 10,000 pallets of aid in the first 60-90 days.
@globalempowermentmission @welove_foundation @lelepons @manacommon @good360usa @oceanbankus
We have now secured our first warehouse in #Venezuela with GEM staff managing all logistics. Aid is received directly from cargo planes and transported by local trucks to the GEM warehouse.
Each day, our GEM teams, U.S., Europe, Latin America, along with local partners, determine distribution sites (typically three per day first week) These are often in small, trusted community locations and churches.
A natural disaster of this magnitude hasn’t happened in Venezuela since 1999, we have again partnered up with I Love Venezuela Foundation, who’s been on the ground here for almost 13 years with local experience. Our initial commitment is to deliver and personally distribute 10 M in aid in the next 60 days. We can’t do this without you. Please support through our bio-link tree. Special thanks to @mueblesbima furniture.
The devastating double earthquakes that struck Venezuela have pushed an already fragile nation deeper into crisis.
For a country that has already endured the largest displacement crisis in the Western Hemisphere, this disaster is nothing short of catastrophic. Entire communities are now facing unimaginable loss, uncertainty, and urgent humanitarian needs.
Buildings have collapsed across Caracas as rescue crews race against time to search for survivors. Among the strongest earthquakes to strike Venezuela in more than a century, these powerful quakes have left thousands of families displaced, injured, and in desperate need of assistance.
Within hours of the disaster, Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) activated its emergency response. In less than 24 hours, our team began establishing a distribution center in Caracas while mobilizing donors, volunteers, and emergency response personnel from South Florida and around the world. Together with our longtime Venezuelan partner, I Love Venezuela, our recon and emergency response teams are deploying immediately to assess the greatest needs and begin delivering life-saving aid.
Time is critical. Every hour matters for families who have lost everything and are waiting for food, clean water, emergency supplies, and hope.
GEM previously responded to Venezuela’s refugee crisis in 2019, building trusted partnerships and logistical networks that now allow us to move quickly and reach vulnerable communities when they need help most.
A special thank you to @moishemana and @manatechmiami for your continued partnership and unwavering support of the Venezuelan people.
Please stand with Venezuela today. Your donation will help us deliver emergency relief to families whose lives have been turned upside down. Every gift - no matter the size, helps us reach more people, faster.

Last night back-to-back earthquakes struck Venezuela, with a 7.1 magnitude quake followed roughly a minute later by an even stronger 7.5 magnitude quake, centered just west of the capital. Buildings have collapsed across Caracas, where rescue crews are searching for survivors. Among the strongest quakes to hit the country in over a century, the disaster has left families displaced and communities in urgent need.
GEM began deployment and response plans almost immediately and within less than 24hrs GEM has already begun setting up a distribution center in Caracas and has mobilized donors and volunteers in South Florida and around the world who are supporting Venezuelan relief efforts. The GEM team, has teamed up with our long-term Venezuelan partner I Love Venezuela, is currently mobilizing in response to the developing situation. Our recon and emergency response teams are deploying immediately.
This is a disaster on an epic scale and will require the help and support from many people. Please consider supporting this mission today, every little amount makes a difference.
GEM has previously operated in Venezuela in response to the refugee crisis in 2019, where we had developed critical smart partnerships that will allow for us to respond to this disaster more efficiency and with greater reach.
