OUR WORK
The Global Paint for
Charity (GPC) is a non-profit organization incorporated in Georgia,
U.S.A. Our mission is to collect leftover paint from residents and
businesses nationwide and use it for global housing rehabilitation
projects including homes, schools, hospitals, orphanages and churches
for vulnerable families in developing countries. Through the support of
our donors and partners we are able to protect the environment, increase
access to quality paints in developing countries, change lives and
transform communities one gallon at a time.
The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that every home in the U.S. has 3 to 4
gallons of leftover paints in its basement and 10 percent of those
paints ends up in landfills every day. One gallon of improperly disposed
paint has the ability to pollute up to 250,000 gallons of water. By
participating in our program, individuals and businesses will take
greater steps to protect the environment, and improve living conditions
for vulnerable populations throughout the world. If you would like to

Improve access of high quality paints to vulnerable
populations around the world. Nearly 2.5 billion people in developing
countries live on less than $2 a day for them paint is very expensive.
In these settings, it is very difficult for families to secure
sufficient income for their basic needs such as food, medicine, water,
clothes, school supplies, and shelter. When making consumption choices
that involve spending on these goods there is nothing left to spend on
paint.
