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.

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.

80 Volunteers Aim for a Fun Community Beautification Day of Service



More than 80 volunteers armed with paint brushes, rollers and Roller Handles, blue tapes, trays and some paint to beautify the Empire Board of Realtists building on Saturday. The Volunteers spent the first half of the day painting the exterior and interior of the building.

These volunteers from several organizations, including the United Way of Greater Atlanta and their corporate partners, Young Professional Leaders/LINC, Youth United Atlanta, Suntrust Bank, United Way Staff Members, Global Paint for Charity’s volunteers, sacrificed a Saturday morning to help make the building a brighter place.

For many young professional Leaders, it was a good opportunity to learn a new skills, team work and making a difference, others enjoy some networking time and watching the transformation of building from an old beige to a perfect gray color.
“This is the first time I painted anything, I have painted my nails, that’s it!! I really enjoy this event. I get to spend time with my friends and new people while giving back to my community" said one of the young leaders, Linda.

It's the way of educating a more beautiful and better community and showing these youth and future leaders in our community the importance of caring for their neighborhood and the less fortunate.
"In their generation and the next generation, I hope they keep painting and changing lives in the community" said a volunteer.

Thank you to the United Way of Greater Atlanta team and Staff Members donating all the supplies, The entire Atlanta Elite Construction team for providing sprayer machines and ladders, Tool Bank of Atlanta, Global Paint for Charity for donating 120 gallons of paint and conducting the event, Sherwin Williams, and Sharon Henry, 2016 President Of The Empire Board Of Realtists for providing breakfast, soft drinks, water to the volunteers, it was HOT and SUNNY on Saturday, and the drinks came very handy. We want to thank Rony Delgarde for his leadership and all of the wonderful volunteers from our organization who helped make this happen. Thank you all for your support and donations of time, paint, and other gifts. And thanks for coming out to help paint the building.

“Thank you so much for showing up and showing out. You guys did an excellent job repainting the entire exterior and interior building of the Empire board of Realtists. Words cannot express our gratitude” Said Sharon Henry, 2016 President Of The Empire Board Of Realtists.

The Empire Board of Realtists Office is where hundreds of minorities and females are learning to become entrepreneurs, small business owners, obtain financial education and become role models and leaders in our community. Many of them are very thankful for the fresh color of paint on their building.
Please show your support for Global Paint for Charity! Visit our website www.globalpaints.org and make a donation to help us recycle and provide more paint for underprivileged people in our communities not just The Empire Board of Realtists building in Atlanta but around the world.
If you would like to help host a paint drive or paint project in your community, please contact us by email at info@globalpaints.org or call our Team at 855-853-7772. Together We Can Make a Difference and paint the world one gallon at a time.
