Yesterday marked our first major distribution in Pereira, Colombia. These initial distributions are with locally sourced aid.

Our @globalempowermentmission headquarters in Doral, Fl commences daily scheduled cargo flights along with high-capacity maritime sea containers. Due to the immense support of the Colombian🇨🇴 diaspora in the US along with hundreds of US companies, we anticipate transporting over 1000 pallets of aid by fall 2026.

In today’s deployment, we distributed our specialized family necessity kits to hundreds of earthquake survivors who have lost everything and are currently camped out in parks

Additionally, vital pallets of tents and mattresses are being shipped immediately.

This is just the beginning of our $15 million commitment of aid to Colombia for 2026 alone. This effort is in partnership with the Colombian Government, Solidaridad por Colombia, Colombia un Solo Corazon & Motorrad Angels. Also, please join us this weekend in support of charity concert #UnidosPorLosNuestros on August 16th at the Kaseya Center with our friend @marcanthony and many other amazing artists, to support to those affected in Colombia and Venezuela.
