PPG has begun a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES project in Budapest to revitalize the maternity department at the Jahn Ferenc Hospital. The Colorful Communities program provides PPG volunteers and products along with financial contributions to bring color and vitality to communities where the company operates around the world, such as in Budapest, which is home to the PPG Trilak architectural coatings plant.
The project kickoff last weekend brought together more than 30 PPG volunteers, who spent a day revitalizing a hallway in the hospital’s maternity department. PPG is providing $20,000, including new Héra Clean waterborne, washable interior paint and Trinát Aqua trim paint, to help repaint the entire maternity ward by the end of this year.
The Jahn Ferenc Hospital maternity department has 81 beds, sees more than 5,000 patients each year and includes more than 43,000 square feet (more than 4,000 square meters) of walls that will be repainted as part of the PPG project. So far, the hallway and waiting room have been brightened with colorful designs to welcome mothers to-be and their families.
“As Hungary’s leading paint factory, it is important to us at PPG Trilak to help those in need and demonstrate our corporate social responsibility,” said István Miavecz, PPG Trilak managing director, architectural coatings, Hungary. “We are excited to start our first Colorful Communities project for PPG in Hungary, and we hope to plan more local charitable projects in the future.”
