IMPORTANT 2025 RECAP…….From all of us at @globalempowermentmission GEM), we wish you a joyous holiday season and a healthy, meaningful, and inspiring New Year.

As we celebrate our 15th Anniversary, we are reminded of what is truly possible when committed partners come together with purpose, compassion, and action. It is because of you and your belief and trust in GEM that we have been able to reach and assist millions of people throughout 2025. Our teams are operating throughout the United States and 5 continents, delivering aid to populations impacted by some of the most complex and volatile emergencies. We are proud to announce that we have expended $188 Million this year alone with only 3.8% going to corporate overhead.

We invite you to watch our 2025 recap video, which highlights our many missions across the globe and the extraordinary impact made. Our teams on the ground have worked tirelessly, often in the most challenging environments, to accomplish all of this, and we are incredibly proud of what they have achieved. We hope you will take a moment to watch and reflect on this work.

As this difficult and complex year draws to a close, we also invite you to consider Global Empowerment Mission in your end-of-year giving through our bio-links.

Your support is critical now more than ever, as humanitarian needs continue to grow in the face of ongoing crises and unprecedented events unfolding across our country and around the world.

We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you who continues to allow us to bring hope, dignity, and tangible relief to people in their greatest moments of need.

Today marks one month since #HurricaneMelissa devastated parts of #Jamaica, unleashing one of the most destructive crises the island ever faced.

In just 30 days, GEM through our smart partnership model executed one of the largest humanitarian mobilizations in Jamaica’s recent history:
• 2,034 pallets of emergency aid
• $5,876,347.89 in total relief value
• 3,029,072 lbs of supplies delivered (1,374 metric tons)
• Transported through 25 planes, 24 containers, and 3 ships * Servicing 101 locations

From the first hours after landfall, GEM—working closely with the Government of Jamaica, ODPEM, JDF, IOM, the NCB Foundation, Royal Caribbean, AFJ and our broader network—activated a nationwide rapid-response operation focused on speed, scale, and dignity.

Across impacted parishes, our teams have delivered mass food distributions, hygiene kits, clean-water support, medical facility stabilization, and tarpaulin roofing to help health centers safely reopen. These efforts embody our smart-partnership model: lean operations, high efficiency, and an unwavering commitment to getting resources directly to the families who need them most.

Special thanks to all our partners who make this possible:

As nossas equipas estão a trabalhar diligentemente, 24 horas por dia, para apoiar as famílias em toda a #Jamaica. Este pequeno vídeo destaca os esforços críticos do GEM no sector dos abrigos - proporcionando espaços seguros para aqueles que perderam tudo. Isto inclui centros comunitários, centros de saúde, abrigos e casas. O trabalho do GEM Caraíbas no sector dos abrigos é executado em parceria com a OIM como parceiro de implementação.

Ao mesmo tempo, estamos a transportar grandes quantidades de alimentos e artigos não alimentares essenciais (NFIs) através da nossa rede internacional e nacional de armazéns, centros e parceiros locais para garantir que a ajuda chegue até às comunidades mais remotas e afectadas. Obrigado @good360usa e @amazon pelos mais de 100 geradores.

Juntos, estamos a aumentar o nosso programa de telhados temporários para podermos ajudar a resolver as 122.531 casas avaliadas que foram danificadas pelo #hurricanemelissa. @globalempowermentmission @iom.jamaica @iom.caribbean @romarley @bobmarleyfoundation

Ontem, a GEM entregou com sucesso o primeiro grande comboio de cinco camiões em Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, #Jamaica. A paróquia de Westmoreland é onde o olho do #hurricanemelissa atingiu a terra. As nossas equipas, com o apoio de segurança do @jdfsoldier e a coordenação com o @odpem e o @mlssjamaica, estão a levar ajuda essencial a uma das regiões mais afectadas.

Através do nosso Modelo de Parceria Inteligente, conseguimos ampliar o nosso impacto e acelerar a entrega de ajuda em toda a ilha. Um agradecimento especial a todos os nossos principais parceiros cujo apoio torna possíveis missões de grande escala como esta.

Simultaneamente, a nossa sucursal do GEM Caraíbas em Kingston continua a desempenhar um papel vital - fornecendo aos centros regionais, organizações locais e redes de parceiros os recursos críticos necessários para chegar ao maior número de pessoas no menor espaço de tempo possível.

Um agradecimento especial a todos os nossos outros parceiros cujo apoio coletivo nos ajudou com os nossos planos e objectivos de distribuição.
