Today marks the beginning of the 2023 Hurricane Season. GEM remains actively engaged in preparation so it can always respond quickly and efficiently.

Your support today, ahead of a storm, helps to ensure the fastest and most robust response possible. Especially in the crucial 24-72 hours after a storm.  

Last year, your support allowed us to serve over 100,000 individuals affected by hurricanes. We are committed to providing the best support for our community and are asking for your contribution today.
Together, we can make sure that everyone is safe and secure during this hurricane season. With your help, we will be able to provide assistance and guidance to those in need. Thank you for your support. #hurricaneseason2023 #GEM #hurricane #disasterrelief For more information on GEM Missions: www.globalempowermentmission.com

GEM is proud to announce that, over the past few months, GEM @globalempowermentmission has successfully launched our latest pillar program across the United States and Central America. This new initiative is called the Tribal Impact program, and GEM is fully committed to empowering indigenous and tribal communities around the world. The Tribal Impact programs and missions, strategically developed by GEM, aim to uplift these First Nation communities by addressing their most pressing needs. These initiatives encompass disaster relief, preparedness, and long-term growth through education. In the coming months, GEM will provide weekly updates on the ongoing missions, showcasing the various tribal communities we actively serve. #GEM #tribalimpact #tribalcommunity #indigeniousempowerment #indigenous #tribe #culturalpreservation #humanitarianaid

Vokzalna Street stands as one of the most significant and symbolic programs that GEM has created and implemented thus far. The course of the battle for Kyiv shifted during the initial days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Vokzalna Street, located in the town of Bucha within the Kyiv region. These series of photographs depict the convoy of obliterated Russian vehicles that were en route to unleash death and devastation upon Kyiv. Nevertheless, it was on this very street that Ukrainian forces halted the advance of Russian troops and tanks towards Kyiv.

When the GEM team met with Bucha Mayor @anatoliy.fedoruk in May 2022, we witnessed the desperation and grief that had scarred this community. In response, GEM promptly devised a program entitled "Hope for Bucha," intended to revive hope and redefine the psychological narrative within the collective conscience. This program served as a symbol of strength and resilience to the entire world, emphasizing that destruction is merely temporary, while the strength and will of Ukraine and its people remains unwavering.
These photos and videos show take the current state of Vokzalna Street through these ‘before and after’ photographs. Please listen to the survivor’s stories whose family members were killed, and hear their expressions of gratitude for the second chance they have been given, and for restoration of their beloved community.
The 110 homes for the Vokzalna Street program was funded by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, @globalempowermentmission @bucharada and the additional 164 homes in Bucha alone plus 4 schools, 4 clinics, & 6 apartment buildings under this program were funded by GEM’s “Community Rebuild Fund”. This fund was not part of our Ukraine Crisis fund, these were earmarked funds only from @pxdinstas and @pbunitedway.

Miracles happen everyday. Don’t wait for miracles to happen, create miracles and something greater will always support them. A very special ‘Thank you’ to @shannonsedg @jeanoelwang @richardbranson @w4ua_summit for all of your support and for your role in this inspirational project. @globalempowermentmissionua @fund_lifequality

Catastrophic flooding in Italy`s northern Emilia-Romagna region has tragically claimed the lives of at least 14 people. This devastating event is estimated to cost Italy 1.5 billion €, with agriculture and farmland bearing the brunt of the destruction. The Coldiretti agricultural association reports that over 5,000 farms have been submerged in water in this region, which is home to the renowned "Fruit Valley," as well as corn and grain fields.

This flood stands as the most severe in Italy over the past century, with half of the annual rainfall accumulating in just 36 hours. The Italian Civil Protection Minister, Nello Musemeci, revealed that certain areas experienced an average of 7.9 inches of rainfall, while other regions recorded a staggering 19.7 inches during the same period. The widespread flooding has triggered approximately 300 landslides, caused 23 rivers to overflow, damaged or destroyed around 400 roads, and affected 42 municipalities with severe flooding. As a result, roughly 15,000 individuals have been compelled to evacuate their homes, and nearly 50,000 residents residing in inundated areas have been left without electricity. First responders are diligently searching for individuals still trapped in the floodwaters. @globalempowermentmissioneur distributed luggage, water, Bombas socks, and hygiene kits with assorted GOOD360 products to those affect by the floods. Special thanks to our mission partners @away @good360usa @bombas @harrogatespring @delta @wetones #italyfloods #gem #gemeurope @majelheart
