Rony grew up in Haiti, where paint was scarce. His curiosity about the improperly disposed paint in the U.S. led him to start the Global Paint for Charity (GPC) to help beautify the world. He was first inspired to collect paint in March 2010, when he visited Kenya and Uganda to help donate basic health supplies and nutrition kits to mothers in the refugee camps. That's where he realized the need to beautify global housing projects in the region. Rony immediately started collecting paint after that Africa trip. At the time he picked up all paint donations; he has gone to residences and businesses as far away from Atlanta as Macon and Savannah, Georgia to collect paint. As many as 500-to-6000 gallons of paint have been shipped at a time to developing countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Guyana, Guinea, Ghana and Mexico. The paint has been used for housing rehabilitation projects including family homes, hospitals, schools, churches, and orphanages. He also sent some paints to those affected by the 2010 earthquake that killed over 200,000 people and left million others homeless in Haiti.
