“Our main objectives are to deliver the most amount of aid, to the most amount of people in need, in the shortest amount of time and with the least amount of costs to our donors. This also applies to our rebuilding efforts.”
- Founder Michael Capponi
Emergency Response Partner for Venezuela Earthquake Relief
Global Empowerment Mission, known as GEM, is a leading disaster-relief organization based in South Florida that responds quickly to humanitarian crises around the world. GEM was founded after the 2010 Haiti earthquake and has since supported communities affected by earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, conflict, displacement, and other emergencies, such as Turkey’s earthquake in 2023 and Jamaica’s hurricane in 2025.
GEM’s mission is to deliver the most aid to the most people in need, in the shortest time possible, while working efficiently through trusted partnerships, volunteers, donors, and local organizations.
Why We Love Foundation Works With GEM
We Love Foundation, formerly I Love Venezuela Foundation, works through collaboration. For more than 13 years, our foundation has partnered with trusted organizations, local nonprofits, volunteers, and community leaders to help create real impact for Venezuelan families and communities in need.
Our collaboration with GEM brings together two important strengths:
GEM’s emergency response experience, logistics, supplies, and global disaster-relief infrastructure.
We Love Foundation’s long-standing relationships with Venezuelan nonprofits, volunteers, and local communities on the ground.
Together, this partnership helps make emergency aid more coordinated, more efficient, and more connected to the people and areas that need it most.
Venezuela Earthquake Relief
Following the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, GEM and We Love Foundation are mobilizing to support affected families and communities.
The first phase of the response will focus on urgent humanitarian needs, including:
Food and clean water
Hygiene kits and basic necessities
Medical and emergency supplies
Shelter-related support
Logistics and distribution
Direct support for vulnerable families
GEM’s response teams are assessing needs and coordinating with partners, while We Love Foundation is helping connect resources to trusted Venezuelan organizations and volunteers with experience serving affected communities.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Action
In moments of crisis, speed matters — but trust matters too. This partnership allows donors, companies, foundations, and volunteers to support Venezuela through a coordinated effort that combines global emergency-response capacity with local knowledge and community relationships.
We are deeply grateful to Global Empowerment Mission and to every donor, volunteer, partner, and organization joining this effort.
Every donation matters. Venezuela needs us now.
