In the last few days, Ukraine - including Kyiv - suffered one of the largest attacks since the war began in February 2022. Hundreds of drones and missiles targeted the capital and surrounding regions, killing at least four people, injuring nearly 100 more, and damaging residential buildings, schools, cultural landmarks, and critical infrastructure across nearly every district of Kyiv.
The recent attacks caused widespread destruction across Kyiv, with some of the heaviest damage reported in the Solomianskyi, Darnytskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Holosiivskyi districts. Residential buildings, schools, markets, and critical civilian infrastructure were heavily impacted, while emergency crews continue rescue and recovery operations across multiple neighborhoods.
Through our partnership with HGBF, GEM has now replaced more than 332,000 windows across Ukraine and continues replacing over 5,000 windows every month.
Every window replaced helps families remain sheltered in their homes and helps slow the growing displacement crisis. Our teams are meeting with local officials to determine which buildings need immediate window replacements.
As soon as rescue teams completed their emergency response operations, GEM teams were already on the ground assessing damage and coordinating immediate support through the GEM–HGBF window replacement program. The rapid replacement of shattered windows is critical to helping families stay safely in their homes and begin recovery as quickly as possible. #ukraine

The July 4, 2025 flooding disaster along the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country became one of the deadliest inland flood events in modern Texas history.
The emotional impact of the tragedy deeply affected Texas and the nation, as many of the victims were children attending beloved summer camps that had existed for generations. More than 130 precious lives were lost. Entire communities were left underwater. Homes and businesses were destroyed. Families displaced. Lives forever changed.
Within hours of the disaster, GEM activated Phase 1 of our disaster response — delivering immediate aid and more than $1 million in emergency GEM BStrong Cash Card assistance to flood survivors.
Today, our GEM USA Southwest branch remains on the ground in Central Texas, supporting long-term recovery efforts by delivering and installing drywall for families and small businesses impacted by this catastrophic flooding.
Every delivery is more than material, it is a message of hope, resilience, and restoration. Together, we are proving that true recovery is not just about rebuilding structures — it is about restoring dignity, opportunity, and faith in the future. Your support powers every phase of recovery — from disaster response to reconstruction.

GEM was proud to once again participate in the annual ‘National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster’ Conference, continuing commitment to the 4Cs of the #VOADmovement: Cooperation, Communication, Collaboration, and Coordination.
Reconnecting with partners from across the country who are dedicated to serving communities impacted by disasters helps strengthen our collective response efforts. We had the privilege of convening with VOAD leaders, State VALs, Emergency Management, and NGO partners who remain committed to working together to strengthen the capabilities, preparedness, and resilience of states and territories nationwide.

Over the past week, devastating wildfires have torn through southern Georgia, scorching more than 50,000+ acres and destroying at least 120 homes and other structures, leaving families displaced and entire communities shaken. These wildfires have been some of the most destructive in Georgia’s history.
In the immediate aftermath, Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) mobilized quickly, coordinating relief efforts, sourcing critical supplies, and deploying trucks filled with essential aid directly into the hardest‑hit areas.
Working alongside local churches, GEM established distribution points where families could receive food, water, hygiene kits, and basic necessities, meeting urgent needs while helping restore a sense of stability during a time of crisis. Thanks to our smart partnership with @flewthecoop_ we were able to distribute pet necessities kits for all of our four legged friends as well.
These churches became more than distribution centers, they became hubs of hope, ensuring that aid reached the people who needed it most, quickly and efficiently.
In just one week, through strong partnerships and rapid response, thousands of lives have been impacted, but the need is ongoing, and recovery is just beginning.

In South Lebanon, ongoing hostilities have displaced countless families, forcing them from their homes and leaving many without access to basic necessities. In response, GEM MENA, alongside partners @hcicanada HCI and ONSUR, launched the distribution of 15 large containers filled with food boxes, delivering critical aid to approximately 70,000 people. These relief efforts began in Soor, supporting displaced families with urgently needed supplies. We remain committed to delivering humanitarian aid wherever it is needed most, and we are deeply grateful for the support that makes these life-saving missions possible.

Six months ago, Hurricane Melissa became the strongest Category 5 storm ever to strike the Caribbean, devastating Jamaica and damaging more than 150,000 structures, including nearly 120,000 homes and buildings that lost their roofs.
In response, Global Empowerment Mission, alongside International Organization for Migration, American Friends of Jamaica, Ghetto Youths Foundation, Bob Marley Foundation, and NCB Foundation, launched a roof rebuilding initiative that has now restored 251+ roofs—bringing safety, dignity, and hope back to families while creating jobs for local workers.
Over the past six months, GEM has also delivered 3,141 pallets of aid valued at more than $16.3 million, transported through 25 airlifts, 74 shipping containers, and 7 cruise ships to reach Jamaica’s hardest-hit communities.
At GEM, recovery means more than surviving the storm—it means rebuilding stronger. This mission is only possible because of our donors, partners, and supporters.

Ukraine Program Update 🇺🇦
Morning meetings @globalempowermentmissionua with our aid warriors. These teams have been working diligently for over 4 straight years to assist #Ukrainians in extremely difficult times of #war.
@globalempowermentmission in partnership with the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, continues to operate one of the largest sustained humanitarian responses in Ukraine, delivering assistance at scale across six active war-affected regions.
Q1 #2026 operational output:
• 1,231 trucks delivered to front line regions
• 30,623 pallets distributed
• $19,059,306 in aid delivered
• 24,812 windows installed
• 6,000,012 liters of water distributed
• 54,723,623 meals provided
• 960,039 family necessity kits delivered
These figures reflect continued expansion of a logistics-driven model designed to reach over 1,100 communities monthly, supporting nearly 800,000 individuals through integrated programming across food security, WASH, shelter, and livelihoods.
Since the onset of the war, GEM’s cumulative delivery in Ukraine includes:
• 11,671 trucks delivered
• 285,764 pallets distributed
• $334,386,686 in total aid delivered
• 322,791 windows installed
• 52,733,721 liters of water distributed
• 525,704,804 non perishable meals provided
• 8,712,091 family necessity kits delivered
This scale has been achieved through a lean, partnership-based operating model that prioritizes throughput, rapid deployment, and direct-to-family distribution, ensuring both efficiency and accountability in high-complexity environments.
As the conflict enters another prolonged phase, the focus remains on maintaining continuity of essential services while advancing durable recovery solutions, particularly in shelter and community-level resilience.

Over the past week, devastating wildfires have torn through southern Georgia, scorching more than 50,000+ acres and destroying at least 120 homes and other structures, leaving families displaced and entire communities shaken. These wildfires have been some of the most destructive in Georgia’s history.
In the immediate aftermath, Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) mobilized quickly, coordinating relief efforts, sourcing critical supplies, and deploying trucks filled with essential aid directly into the hardest‑hit areas.
Working alongside local churches, GEM established distribution points where families could receive food, water, hygiene kits, and basic necessities, meeting urgent needs while helping restore a sense of stability during a time of crisis. Thanks to our smart partnership with @flewthecoop_ we were able to distribute pet necessities kits for all of our four legged friends as well.
These churches became more than distribution centers, they became hubs of hope, ensuring that aid reached the people who needed it most, quickly and efficiently.
In just one week, through strong partnerships and rapid response, thousands of lives have been impacted, but the need is ongoing, and recovery is just beginning.

In South Lebanon, ongoing hostilities have displaced countless families, forcing them from their homes and leaving many without access to basic necessities. In response, GEM MENA, alongside partners @hcicanada HCI and ONSUR, launched the distribution of 15 large containers filled with food boxes, delivering critical aid to approximately 70,000 people. These relief efforts began in Soor, supporting displaced families with urgently needed supplies. We remain committed to delivering humanitarian aid wherever it is needed most, and we are deeply grateful for the support that makes these life-saving missions possible.

Six months ago, Hurricane Melissa became the strongest Category 5 storm ever to strike the Caribbean, devastating Jamaica and damaging more than 150,000 structures, including nearly 120,000 homes and buildings that lost their roofs.
In response, Global Empowerment Mission, alongside International Organization for Migration, American Friends of Jamaica, Ghetto Youths Foundation, Bob Marley Foundation, and NCB Foundation, launched a roof rebuilding initiative that has now restored 251+ roofs—bringing safety, dignity, and hope back to families while creating jobs for local workers.
Over the past six months, GEM has also delivered 3,141 pallets of aid valued at more than $16.3 million, transported through 25 airlifts, 74 shipping containers, and 7 cruise ships to reach Jamaica’s hardest-hit communities.
At GEM, recovery means more than surviving the storm—it means rebuilding stronger. This mission is only possible because of our donors, partners, and supporters.

Ukraine Program Update 🇺🇦
Morning meetings @globalempowermentmissionua with our aid warriors. These teams have been working diligently for over 4 straight years to assist #Ukrainians in extremely difficult times of #war.
@globalempowermentmission in partnership with the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, continues to operate one of the largest sustained humanitarian responses in Ukraine, delivering assistance at scale across six active war-affected regions.
Q1 #2026 operational output:
• 1,231 trucks delivered to front line regions
• 30,623 pallets distributed
• $19,059,306 in aid delivered
• 24,812 windows installed
• 6,000,012 liters of water distributed
• 54,723,623 meals provided
• 960,039 family necessity kits delivered
These figures reflect continued expansion of a logistics-driven model designed to reach over 1,100 communities monthly, supporting nearly 800,000 individuals through integrated programming across food security, WASH, shelter, and livelihoods.
Since the onset of the war, GEM’s cumulative delivery in Ukraine includes:
• 11,671 trucks delivered
• 285,764 pallets distributed
• $334,386,686 in total aid delivered
• 322,791 windows installed
• 52,733,721 liters of water distributed
• 525,704,804 non perishable meals provided
• 8,712,091 family necessity kits delivered
This scale has been achieved through a lean, partnership-based operating model that prioritizes throughput, rapid deployment, and direct-to-family distribution, ensuring both efficiency and accountability in high-complexity environments.
As the conflict enters another prolonged phase, the focus remains on maintaining continuity of essential services while advancing durable recovery solutions, particularly in shelter and community-level resilience.

This past week, the Miami-Dade County Department of Emergency Management led Operation Lasso III, a full-scale exercise designed to strengthen the region’s ability to rapidly establish Family Reception Centers (FRCs) and Family Assistance Centers (FACs) in the aftermath of a Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack (CCTA).
The operation placed a strong emphasis on speed, coordination, and seamless regional collaboration across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe counties, ensuring a unified response when it matters most.
