The Global Paint for Charity "Global Paint or GPC" is a Non-Governmental Organization designed to solve the logistics of paint waste in the U.S. and Canada to promote a more sustainable, healthier, and more beautiful and colorful environment around the world. The goal is to use colors to help beautify the local structures, boost people's confidence, create happiness, change lives, and assist the vulnerable individuals in reaching their full potential.
Did you know most developing countries do not have paint? Usually, trees are used to make wood stove heat to dissolve river stones and soil to make color powders for paint, and fruits and vegetable (i.e., beets, lime, strawberries, etc.) According to the World Health Organization, 1.5 billion seniors are living in impoverished homes, 80 percent of the third world's homes and schools face the dreary reality of unpainted walls, and more than 70 million children have never had a painted classroom.
Our decisions today are responsible for determining the outcome of our planet in the future. With responsible recycling practices, we can ensure the reduction of resources, healthy ecosystems, and a healthier society. The Global Paint for Charity, Inc., (GPC) focused on the future of our children and their environments by creating the first sustainable paint waste management program in the United States and Canada. Global Paint for Charity recovers paint leftovers from homeowners and paint indu
At Global Paint, we believe that everyone, no matter their circumstances, deserves to live in a beautiful and colorful environment. Increasing access to paint in underserved communities could improve the local economic power for millions of vulnerable families and uplift the spirit of the less fortunate individuals for many years to come. Over 150 million gallons of paints end up as waste every year. Global Paint is committed to recycling that paint to beautify the poorer communities.
