GEM’s aim is to provide grassroots efforts with a large institutional impact on the most vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters around the world.

GEM is dedicated to restoring hope and opportunity in the lives of those most affected by natural disasters. The organization works as a first responder for disaster relief, bridges the gap between first response and sustainable development, and implements practices to ensure sustainable development.

In addition to the three planned phases, GEM operates year-round programming that focuses on school and home reconstruction, education and empowerment, and environmental and health programs. The program's goals are to bring people back to normalcy and elevate communities beyond the cycle of disaster response. The outcome of these programs is to provide long-term redevelopment, which mitigates the psychosocial impact of displacement. These programs create independence through sustainable initiatives as the communities have a vested interest in the programs and over time grow and improve them on their own.
