Let’s say "GPC is a win for everyone”

Published by Rony Delgarde · 17 mins ·
Great day!! Many thanks to Mr. Togar White in Smyrna, Georgia for his paint donations and $150 monetary contribution to support the Global Paints projects. Togar has lived in this property since purchasing it 35 years ago. As you can see, he likes paint and every year he repainted his house, as a result he has lots of leftovers and he couldn't get rid off. “I am much more than happy to pass on good words and donate to the cause. Great organization” said Mr. White.

And two hours later, our friends from Friends of English Avenue stopped by the warehouse in Norcross to pick up a paint donation for the Vine City English Avenue EARTH DAY celebration which is going to be one of the largest volunteer events in Atlanta history this Saturday, bringing nearly 1000 volunteers from schools, churches, businesses, philanthropy to English Avenue. “This paint will be used to paint community flower boxes that will serve as beautification for the English Avenue community. This paint will also be used to repaint a house that Friends of English Avenue , in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, in order to have a community police officer to reside in the home to further reduce crime” Said Kali Gatlin, Director of Friends of English Avenue. Global Paint for Charity donated 500 gallons of paint to support all Earth Day activities from April 22- April 29 in the Westside and Vine City English Ave.

So everybody won today!! Mr. Togar White received a tax deductible receipt for his donations, GPC got a check to support our programs and the Friends of English Avenue got a paint donation for its 2-day greater Atlanta community EARTH DAY volunteer effort. Win Win Win!!

It is about time for you to get involved and it is funnnnn! Tell us what types of colors you like and why? Please consider a financial donation to support the mission of Global Paint for Charity and help us change lives one gallon at a time. Visit us online at www.globalpaints.org . Thank you…!!

It was an honor to partner with Usher’s New Look Foundation to support the Meadowcreek High School Career Expo and Job Fair on Saturday. We had over 60 eager young students from 9th grader, sophomore year, junior year to 12th grader year come out to learn about the Global Paint for Charity’s mission, internship and jobs opportunities. Rony Delgarde, CEO of Global Paint for Charity taught the students the importance of recycling PAINT to change lives, protect the environment and how our process works. Thank you Rony for a job well done! #UshersNewLook #Foundation #GlobalPaint #Meadowcreek #HighSchool #CareerExpo and #JobFair #GallonofHope #ChangingLives #GoGreen

Nashua Wallpaper & Paint CO in New Hampshire Donated 5000 gallons of Paints

We are thrilled and so delighted to receive a large donation of Latex Paint from Nashua Wallpaper and Paint Co in Manchester NH. “Nashua Wallpaper and Paint Co.” is an independent Benjamin Moore paint retail store serving the Nashua, Manchester and Concord, New Hampshire communities.
 
The company generously donated over 5000 gallons of paint to support our Basic School Beautification Program in West Africa. The paint will be used to renovate, rejuvenate, and beautify basic schools, individuals and family homes in underprivileged communities.All of us at Global Paint for Charity want to thank the Nashua, Manchester and Concord, New Hampshire Retail Store Managers and more importantly DENIS DEPELTEAU, Vice President Operations who contacted us about the paint donation couple weeks ago. While it may not seem like a big deal to them, it is to us. We cannot do what we love without the support and donations from people and companies like Nashua Wallpaper and Paint Co.

The Global Paint for Charity is a non-profit organization that collects unused paints from businesses and residences in the US, then distribute it to vulnerable individuals and families in developing countries around the world. The organization eliminates the toxic disposal of paints into land fills and fills the needs of the world’s poorer populations. It’s estimated that 80 percent of the third world’s homes and schools have very bad and unpainted walls, and more than 70 million children have never had access to a painted classroom. We provide underprivileged communities the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of color through every gallon of recycled paint. To date, we have salvaged over 200,000 Gallons and redistributed more than 120,000 Gallons to 18 countries and cities right here in the U.S. at no charge.
 
 
Donating a Gallon of Paint to Global Paint for Charity means big saving for you: We offer Tax Savings, Storage Savings, Disposal Savings and more importantly the impact you are making both here in the United States and abroad.
And with your tax deductible financial donation, we are able to handle the logistics of the paint and assist those in need around the world.

Our Team loaded the latest container with 5000 gallons to Africa


Volunteers have worked hard to load 5000 gallons of paint to West Africa, where it will be used to beautify basic schools for deprived children in the region.

It was a huge support as the year-end, our volunteers worked to load a 40ft container of paint to West Africa. The paint will be used to paint selected basic schools for deprived children in selected communities in West Africa, with plans to paint approximately 8000 Basic Schools across the region by 2025.

A team of people worked to load the latest container with 5000 gallons of paint. We had three-and-a-half hours to load the container and we got going with speed and finished under two hours.
The paint was in two different locations, and the container was loaded at the Atlanta Service Warehouse in Westside Hills, Georgia, so it was some constant moving and pretty heavy lifting. Our strength and positive spirit was knowing that the paint will help change lives. Many team members started the loading of a 24 ft. truck at our center in Norcross 6:30am and worked until the end. When we finished sweat was running down our entire bodies, but we all had smiles on our faces knowing the paint will put a smile on many deprived children’s faces in West Africa.

The container is expected to arrive in West Africa by January 15th. THIS IS THE LAST DAY TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION! Please help us continue our work by supporting us.

In order to fulfill our mission, we need funding to support paint collection efforts, storage costs, recycling costs, shipping, etc. Take action!! Donate to Global Paint for Charity and obtain a tax-deductible donation for 2016. Simply click on the following link: http://www.globalpaints.org/donate.php to submit your donation online, or you may send a check payable to Global Paint for Charity to: Global Paint for Charity, P.O. 48855, Atlanta, GA 30362.

Why You Should Support The Global Paint Project?

Global Paint for Charity was launched almost 6 years ago, in March 2010, to work together with businesses, households and paint manufacturers in a collective effort to recycle post-consumer Latex paint to change lives and beautify underserved communities. It has been a long journey and amazing experience for us. We collect donations of paint from coast to coast and distribute over 120 000 gallons across 18 developing countries around the world.



 In USA
Every year, hundreds of young people are sent by the local Juvenile Court judges and High Schools throughout the Atlanta area to volunteer to paint for elderly seniors and widows who are physically and/or financially unable to paint their residence on their own including Family Homes, Recreational Centers for Women and Homeless. Other local groups have worked with The Global Paint for Charity or participate in our local paint projects and paint drives where our staff oversees and evaluates their work. Through our community service programs, we have coached, mentored and trained individuals to behave and ultimately become better workers, students and leaders in our community.







In Central America and Caribbean, over 80 churches, 48 basic schools and 200 homes got a fresh coat and touch up so far. Our volunteers paint schools and orphanages which helped save many lives, and thanks to their efforts, single mothers and young girls are able to put a layer of coating on their murals or furniture and craft products to attract local customers. The number of women starting and running their own painting businesses continue to grow everyday. So many of them used to live in poverty, they are lack abilities, education and opportunities. Our programs help the underprivileged people to launch a small paint business and assist them to realize their dreams around their world. 

This year (2016) has been a great year for many things, and we want to share our thoughts with you about these exciting projects and what they will mean in the world. We have worked with our partners to help bring colors and hope to the infrastructures in West Africa through a range of projects. One of such projects is Basic Schools Beautification programs, which seeks to beautify 4500 Basic Schools in underserved communities by 2025. A number of basic schools in Ghana have received some paint from GPC to paint a total of 300 schools this year, ranging from staff common rooms, kitchen, head teacher offices, toilets, pavements, play & parade grounds, and classrooms, libraries, sport centers etc.


 In Africa
Global Paint is expanding to other West African Countries. GPC is however working with representatives in Benin, Senegal, Kenya, Mali, Nigeria Cameroon and other NGOs in West Africa to execute a range of projects to change lives and beautify essential structures of basic schools. A continent where many told us a shipment of paint could be too expensive and would never get there. Well, they were wrong. As you can see in those pictures, our partners are delivering paint to basic schools today, and the kids are so happy with the paint. And guess who is going to start painting the entire school tomorrow? The painting starts tomorrow and the kids are going to paint their school. They are very excited, and can’t wait to learn new skills, what’s a feeling, an amazing experience? Many years from today they would remember their collective effort. Stay tuned, we will post more photos soon. Help us teach them how to fish, not just feed them fish!!
 
We are grateful for your continued support. If you want to help our cause with your kindness, Please check our TAKE ACTION page at our website www.globalpaints.org - TAKE ACTION!! All your donations are tax deductible.
