This week, GEM MENA @globalempowermentmissionmena in partnership with SmartAID @smartaidint, successfully distributed fresh vegetable kits to vulnerable families in Khan Younis, Middle Area, and Gaza City, providing much-needed nutrition to thousands of civilians affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Each kit contains a variety of fresh vegetables, essential ingredients for a balanced diet, helping families prepare healthy meals amid an escalating food shortage.
In a place where access to food is no longer guaranteed, these fresh vegetables are more than just produce, they are a lifeline. Every family deserves the dignity of fresh, nutritious food.
A heartfelt thank you to our partner SmartAID and to all our supporters who make this life-saving work possible.To learn more, and how you can support our mission please visit the link in our bio section, or: https://www.globalempowermentmission.org

IMPORTANT TEXAS FLOODS UPDATE
Please take a moment to watch this short video highlighting fascinating survivor stories of bravery and resilience. We’re actively responding to the devastating flooding in Kerr County and here’s the critical programs we’ve implemented on the ground this first week.
• $1,050,000 in direct BStrong Cash Card assistance will be distributed by July 31, 2025, thanks to the incredible support of @BethennyFrankel’s BStrong, the David & Nicole Tepper Foundation, and the Sergey Brin Family Foundation.
• $150,000+ in Small Business Recovery Grants to help local entrepreneurs and business owners rebuild, made possible by the Bikerstaff Family Foundation.
• 2 full-size semi-trucks of essential aid have already been delivered to the region.
• $1.7 million in air purifiers are en route to shelters and homes to improve air quality in affected areas.
Global Empowerment Mission will remain on the ground indefinitely.
Just as we’ve been in Haiti every day for 15 years, in Ukraine for over 3 years, and in Maui, Los Angeles, and North Carolina without pause, we will continue to stand with Texas for as long as it takes.

Prime Minister @andrewholnessjm in Kingston, Jamaica at the National Commerce Bank’s National Tribute to Partnerships & Recovery. Prime Minister thanked our work for #hurricaneberyl. Ministers, distinguished leaders and dedicated partners all came together to show the world what true collaboration looks like in times of crisis.
GEM prides itself on good public/private partnerships. Following the PM’s words are GEM founder, @michaelcapponi’s speech on what GEM has done in the last year in Jamaica.
Just 48 hours after Beryl devastated Jamaica, our first cargo plane touched down. Within days, clean water was restored to Treasure Beach through the deployment of a large generator. Days later, roof repairs started. Fast forward one year and our incredible GEM Caribbean branch led by @deikamorrison was able to repair 738 roofs. We could not have done this without the best comunity partner @jasonhenzell, @bredstreasurebeach and @iom.jamaica. GEM funds were matched by @ncbfoundation and without their support this program would not have happened.
Thank you @lyn.thalia and everyone who made this possible. Also pleased to announce that the PM’s office has granted GEM a major warehouse in Kingston where our GEM Carribean branch will preposition emergency supplies in case any other potential storms may hit this region. #jamaica🇯🇲 #hurricaneberyl @goldeneye #bstrong @mairoliver @marlonhill @sflcaribbeanstrong #Tankwell #hurricaneberyl #jamaica
It’s been 6 months since wildfires tore through @countyofla destroying homes, displacing families, and closing down countless local businesses.
Since day one, Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) #BStrong has been on the ground delivering over $9 million in relief, including BStrong Cash Cards from @bethennyfrankel , emergency supplies, and long-term recovery support.
Through our Rental Assistance Program (RAP), we’re helping families who lost everything find safe and stable housing as they rebuild their lives. And we’re standing with small businesses, because strong local economies are the backbone of resilient communities. Our Small Business Program is helping owners reopen, recover, and keep their dreams and livelihood alive. These programs would not have been possible without the generosity of a $1 Million grant from the David Geffen Foundation. This grant will allow us to continue these initiatives through this fall.
GEM USA West teams are committed to long term recovery and plan to be on the ground possibly for the next 3-5 years. We will continue delivering financial assistance and essential aid in direct partnership for the long-term with local leaders, and through our smart partnerships with the @davidgeffen Foundation, #BStrong, @jefferies @stableroadfoundation, #DavidandNicoleTepperFoundation, @good360usa, @airbnb Org, @amazon, @goyafoods, @goyacares, #Give #StevenandAlexandraCohenFoundation @flexport, and @unitedwaypbc

GEM Founder and President @michaelcapponi joined @newsnationnow to discuss ongoing relief efforts on the ground at the epicenter of the devastating #GuadalupeRiver floods in Texas.

In the heart of a war-torn nation, hope takes root, one seed at a time.
It’s truly inspiring to witness the harvest from local farms across Ukraine — crops that began as humble seeds distributed by our teams as part of the GEM HGBF Seeds Program. These aren’t just seeds, they are symbols of resilience, dignity, and survival.
Ukraine, often called the breadbasket of Europe, has long nourished the world with its fertile soil and generations of hardworking farmers. Today, despite the hardships of war, that legacy endures. Local farmers are once again planting their fields, harvesting crops, and feeding their communities, all made possible by these humble seed packs.
This year alone, we’ve distributed over 5.2 million seed packs to communities throughout the country.

Sadly the death toll continues to rise following the devastating flash floods that tore through Texas Hill Country over the Fourth of July weekend. (As of 10pm EST) At least 80 lives have been lost — including 28 children in Kerr County. Authorities report that 10 girls and one counselor from Camp Mystic are still missing. When the floods struck, more than 750 children were attending the camp.
GEM BStrong teams have been on the ground since yesterday, responding with urgency and compassion. We’re providing immediate support to evacuated and displaced residents, including @bethennyfrankel’s BStrong Cash Cards for those in crisis.
Trucks filled with GEM Family Necessity Kits are en route, bringing critical relief to families who’ve lost everything in this historic and tragic event.
Our hearts are with every parent, child, and community member affected.

One Year Later: Hurricane Beryl Recovery
One year ago, Hurricane Beryl tore through the Caribbean with unprecedented force, becoming the strongest June hurricane ever recorded. In its path, homes were leveled, families displaced, and entire communities left shattered.
But from the very first moment, and every day since, Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) has been there.
This video offers a powerful look into the long road to recovery, one paved with compassion, resilience, and action. From emergency aid drops and rebuilding homes, and providing ongoing support to the most vulnerable, GEM has remained boots-on-the-ground, not just for the crisis, but for the comeback.
Because we don’t just respond to disasters, we walk with communities through every step of their healing and recovery. Watch the full journey of hope, strength, and transformation in this 1 year re-cap video. Happy to share that our GEM Carribbean branch led by @deikamorrison was able to repair over 700 roofs. You can hear firsthand testimonials from Jamaicans that no one else ever came to help them in many areas.
GEM’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to large-scale disasters like Hurricane Beryl is made possible by our powerful partnership model. These strategic alliances are the backbone of our mission, amplifying our impact and strengthening our reach when it matters most.
A heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible partners and supporters who help make this work possible: @bethennyfrankel #bstrong @sflcaribbeanstrong @caribbeanstrong @marlonhill @mairoliver @aieshamusic @jakestreasurebeach @nhef_jm @thecliffjamaica @airservint @luisvelasquezq01 @luisvelasquezma @globalempowermentmissionlatam @bredstreasurebeach @sumfest_festival @janicelyttlefoundation @ncbfoundation @kevinlyttle @kayebentley
