Mission: Our Mission is to recover leftover paint from businesses and residences, reprocess it and distribute it to vulnerable individuals and families in developing countries around the world.
Results: we've mobilized over 200 companies across 25 states in the U.S. and 5 countries to donate their non-consumable paint for our humble cause. As many as 5000-to-6000 gallons of paint have been shipped at a time to 18 countries in West Africa, Central America, the Caribbean, and war-torn areas of the Middle East and beyond -- even places like New York, Chicago, Indiana, Westside Community Atlanta, New Orleans, and Broward Community in Florida suffering from floods, storms, earthquakes and other natural disasters -- have received great number of gallons of paint donations from Global Paint for Charity. The paint beautifies dilapidated schools, churches and family homes in poor communities.
Target demographics: help protect the environment, create jobs, brighten their future and spur creativity, but it also has a real health benefits in an age of uncertainty surrounding global outbreaks.
Direct beneficiaries per year: distribute 120 000 gallons across 18 developing countries around the world. We work with volunteers on the ground to apply a splash of color to the lives of the underprivileged. It’s estimated that 80 percent of the world’s homes and schools face the dreary reality of unpainted walls, and more than 70 million children have never had access to a painted classroom. Crazy, right? 6 years ago Rony Delgarde founded the organization to help change the statistic and hopefully beautify the world. Now is your chance to help us brighten more and supporting the cause. Please help us raise awareness about this important cause.
Geographic areas served: The Global Paint for Charity, Inc. (AKA “GPC” or “Global Paint”) is a national non-profit organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia .
Programs: Paint can protect against mold, bacteria and germs, the presence of which have a disproportionately negative effect on health outcomes in poorer communities. Paint can even be mixed with insecticide to stave off mosquitoes, which carry malaria and other viruses like Zika and yellow fever that kill more than 6 million people per year. Also, the organization and our collaborations support small business owners, and create a Microfinance program to help the local underprivileged people to launch a small paint business and assist them to realize their dreams.
