Harmonic Pledges $25,000 To Global Empowerment Mission

Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) has committed $25,000 to Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) to support ongoing earthquake relief in Venezuela.

The funding is allocated solely to GEM's Venezuela Earthquake Relief programme and is intended to maintain the rapid distribution of emergency aid to impacted communities.

"When disaster strikes in a region where our customers, partners and colleagues live and work, we want to support by acting quickly," said Nimrod Ben-Natan, President and CEO of Harmonic. "The people of Venezuela need support right now. Partnering with an organization like GEM, which has trusted networks and resources on the ground, is the most direct way we can ensure our contribution translates into real relief."

GEM field teams are operating across the hardest-hit zones, co-ordinating deliveries of medical supplies, clean water and hygiene kits. Harmonic's contribution is directed at sustaining these activities at a pivotal stage of the response.

"In the wake of such catastrophic seismic destruction, speed and trusted logistics are everything to the families who have lost their homes," said Michael Capponi, President and Founder of Global Empowerment Mission. "Corporate partners stepping up with immediate funding is what allows our recon and emergency response teams to keep packing and distributing vital supplies directly into the hardest-hit communities. We are grateful to Harmonic for this timely support, which directly fuels our ability to stabilize these neighbourhoods alongside our local partners."
