Humanitaire uitdagingen oplossen te midden van rampen

Today marks four years since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine began. GEM was the first international NGO to arrive at the Polish border within 24 hours. This video tells our story, the story of standing with Ukraine from the earliest hours, through the darkest nights, and into a future still being fought for every single day.Here’s what GEM in partnership with HGBF has been able to do in the last four years. •489 million non perishable meals distributed. •265,369 pallets of emergency aid delivered. •Over 10,800 trucks deployed into active war-zone regions.* 306,012 windows installed to help 776,315 people survive winter after winter.•48 M ++ liters of drinking water delivered. * 1673 generators delivered to support infrastructure energy. * 38,893 Ukrainians relocated. * 115 M ++ seeds distributed. And even now, four years later our work has not slowed but only expanded. * Nearly 800,000 people supported monthly. * Over 320,000 family kits produced and distributed per month.* More than 10,000 pallets delivered per month. * 390+ full size trucks dispatched into frontline regions per month.* 8,000 + windows installed in freezing conditions per month. •2 M liters of drinking water delivered per month. These four years have reshaped everything. They have reshaped a nation. They have reshaped the world. And they have reshaped our work.

Today marks four years since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine began. GEM was the first international NGO to arrive at the Polish border within 24 hours.

This video tells our story, the story of standing with Ukraine from the earliest hours, through the darkest nights, and into a future still being fought for every single day.

Here’s what GEM in partnership with HGBF has been able to do in the last four years.

•489 million non perishable meals distributed.

•265,369 pallets of emergency aid delivered.

•Over 10,800 trucks deployed into active war-zone regions.

* 306,012 windows installed to help 776,315 people survive winter after winter.

•48 M ++ liters of drinking water delivered.

* 1673 generators delivered to support infrastructure energy.

* 38,893 Ukrainians relocated.

* 115 M ++ seeds distributed.

And even now, four years later our work has not slowed but only expanded.

* Nearly 800,000 people supported monthly.

* Over 320,000 family kits produced and distributed per month.

* More than 10,000 pallets delivered per month.

* 390+ full size trucks dispatched into frontline regions per month.

* 8,000 + windows installed in freezing conditions per month.

•2 M liters of drinking water delivered per month.

These four years have reshaped everything. They have reshaped a nation. They have reshaped the world. And they have reshaped our work.

We have witnessed extraordinary resilience in the face of relentless destruction. We have seen courage in villages without resources, dignity in families living under constant missile and drone attacks, and hope carried forward by people who refuse to break.

This is not just a reflection on war.
It is a reflection on endurance, sacrifice, faith, and the responsibility to show up again and again — to support innocent civilians being terrorized daily.

Four years later, we are still here.
And so is Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Please take a moment to watch our Event Recap Video celebrating GEM’s 15-year anniversary, commemorating a decade and a half of empowering individuals and families affected by disasters and conflict zones around the world. The immersive celebration took place at GEM’s Miami headquarters inside the 60,000-square-foot Prologis warehouse, which serves as the central hub driving GEM’s global disaster-response operations.What began as a small grassroots effort has grown into one of the most innovative and effective organizations in international disaster relief. Today, GEM’s nine global branches provide rapid, life-saving assistance within hours of a disaster while simultaneously supporting long-term recovery programs that help communities rebuild stronger, safer, and more resilient than before.The milestone celebration was hosted by Founder and CEO Michael Capponi alongside GEM’s Executive Board. In a powerful address, Capponi reflected on the organization’s extraordinary journey, from its origins responding to the 2010 Haiti earthquake to its evolution into a global model of efficiency, accountability, and compassion in humanitarian aid.The evening also featured a special video message from @miamidadecounty @mayordlc, recognizing GEM’s longstanding partnership with the county and its unwavering commitment to both local and international relief efforts. Several aid recipients shared deeply personal testimonials, describing how GEM’s support transformed their lives during moments of profound crisis.Adding an artistic dimension to the event, Miami-based artist @petertunney generously donated several original works for auction, with proceeds directly benefiting GEM’s ongoing global missions.Distinguished guests and dignitaries in attendance included @romarley @indiahicksstyle former Miss Jamaica and Miss World @toniannsingh @marlonhill Patrick Morris Commissioner @daniellecohenhiggins , @darielfernandez , @alinagarciamiami, @vicemayordignacabral , Fabiola Stuyvesant, and former Miami Beach Mayor @mattibower — each representing the diverse network of partners, supporters, and changemakers who have helped power GEM’s mission for the past fifteen years.

Today marks one year since multiple wildfires devastated communities across the greater Los Angeles area. Within 24 hours of the fires, GEM’s USA West branch, bringing seven years of frontline wildfire experience from the #CampFire in #Paradise, was on the ground in #LosAngeles. Within one week, we established a fully operational local branch to support immediate relief and long-term recovery.Over the past year, our teams have delivered sustained impact totaling nearly $27 million across affected communities. As we now enter our second year of response, GEM remains fully committed to long-term recovery, renewing proven programs while launching new initiatives designed to meet evolving community needs. We continue working closely with trusted local partners, including @lastrongfoundation, The David Geffen Foundation, the Palisades Long Term Recovery Group and the Ahmanson Foundation. In the coming weeks, we will open a Community Recovery Center in the #Palisades, staffed with disaster case managers and focused on durable, community-driven solutions. These long-term recovery pathways will be guided by resident input, ensuring rebuilding efforts reflect local priorities and help make Los Angeles stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for the future.Special thanks to all our partners and donors who helped make our first year in LA’s recovery impactful and tangible. @jefferies, @stableroadfoundation, #DavidandNicoleTepperFoundation, @good360usa, @airbnbOrg, @amazon, @goyafoods, @goyacares, #Give, #StevenandAlexandraCohenFoundation, @flexport, and @pbunitedway @royalcaribbean @bethmccluney #anthembluecrossfoundation #EmergencyNetworkofLosAngeles To learn more and see how you can help, please visit the link in our bio.#GEM #BStrong #LARecovery #DisasterRelief  #Community #SmallBusinessRecovery #Humanitarian

Onze teams werken ijverig de klok rond om gezinnen in heel #Jamaica te ondersteunen. Deze korte video belicht GEM's belangrijke inspanningen in de opvangsector - het bieden van veilige ruimten voor mensen die alles zijn kwijtgeraakt. Dit omvat gemeenschapscentra, gezondheidscentra, schuilplaatsen en huizen. Het werk van GEM Caribbean op het gebied van onderdak wordt uitgevoerd in samenwerking met IOM als uitvoerende partner. Tegelijkertijd verplaatsen we grote hoeveelheden voedsel en essentiële non-food artikelen via ons internationale en nationale netwerk van magazijnen, hubs en lokale partners om ervoor te zorgen dat de hulp zelfs de meest afgelegen en getroffen gemeenschappen bereikt. Bedankt @good360usa & @amazon voor 100+ generatoren. Samen breiden we ons programma voor tijdelijke daken uit om de 122.531 beoordeelde huizen die zijn beschadigd door #hurricanemelissa te kunnen helpen. @globalempowermentmission @iom.jamaica @iom.caribbean @romarley @bobmarleyfoundation

Gisteren zijn de grootschalige humanitaire distributies van GEM in heel #Jamaica van start gegaan. Deze video laat de operationele expertise van @globalempowermentmission in noodhulp zien, met gisteren onze eerste distributies in #BlackRiver en #Lacovia. We maken gebruik van beproefde systemen die in grote conflict- en rampgebieden worden gebruikt - door dagelijks gecoördineerde leveringen uit te voeren in de belangrijkste getroffen gebieden. In de komende dagen zullen we voorraden distribueren naar meer dan 50 locaties. GEM is er trots op dat ze een officiële partner is van Jamaica's nationale rampenorganisatie ODPEM, het ministerie van Arbeid en Sociale Zekerheid en @iom.jamaica. Vandaag coördineren onze teams ook luchtdroppingsoperaties met het Jamaicaanse leger, waarbij meer dan 17 steden worden bereikt die momenteel alleen per helikopter bereikbaar zijn. Een welgemeend dankjewel aan al onze partners en supporters die dit cruciale werk mogelijk maken. Samen zorgen we ervoor dat de hulp snel, efficiënt en op grote schaal de mensen bereikt die het het hardst nodig hebben.@bethennyfrankel@odpem @ncbfoundation @bobmarley @bobmarleyfoundation @romarley @cedellamarley @ncbfoundation @ncbjamaica @afjcares @lyn.thalia @good360usa @royalcaribbean @bredstreasurebeach @sflcaribbeanstrong @mairoliver #bstrong #hurricanemelissa @pbunitedway
