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 🎥 Watch the video for a closer look at how your support is making an impact in Los Angeles.

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 #caribbeanconsularcorps IOM Jamaica, ODPEM, Chin’s Construction Ltd., YIPCTo support GEM’s continued work across the Caribbean, visit the link in our bio.#HurricaneBeryl #GEMMissions #CaribbeanStrong #DisasterRelief #LongTermRecovery #HumanitarianCrisis  #GlobalEmpowermentMission #BStrong #RebuildTogether #HopeInAction #OneYearLater #StrongerThanTheStorm
