Global Empowerment Mission
Global Empowerment Mission is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2011.
Delivering the most amount of aid to the most amount of people in the least amount of time.
GEM innovates the traditional disaster relief model to one that is adaptable, scalable, and ready to deploy at at moment’s notice. Our focus is meeting survivors where they are to provide exactly what they need. This cuts down on waste, streamlines operations, and maximizes donor value.
Whether a Hurricane in the Gulf States, fires in the Amazon or a humanitarian crisis in Europe, our mission is to fulfilling immediate relief needs, supporting the gap period of recovery, and provide sustainable development through construction, tools, and technology.
We provide hope by empowering local stakeholders with our expertise in logistics and international partnerships. Food, water, cash cards, shelter and reconstruction supplies are on site within hours and we adapt to changing needs as the crisis unfolds.
