The GEM LATAM team was on the ground in Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil responding to the extreme flooding in May 2024. Over 1 million homes were without access to water, tens of thousands of people had been evacuated and placed in shelters, and countless more were affected. We held large-scale aid distributions in Novo Hamburgo, Lomba Grande, Estrela, Campo Bom, Lajeado, São Leopoldo, and Porto Alegre of food, water, blankets, and hygiene supplies. Additionally, our team also assisted displaced residents with finding access to shelters.

In the first two weeks on the ground we were able to support over 5,000 families with over 100 tons of critical supplies.
