PPG announced the completion of its first Colorful Communities project in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), transforming the Al Ibtisama Centre for People with Disabilities in Sharjah. The initiative, part of the program’s 10th-anniversary celebrations, aimed to create an inspiring environment for more than 150 children, staff, and visitors at the center.

More than 120 volunteers, including PPG employees, their families, community members, and architecture students from Amity University, collaborated on the project. Volunteers painted 18 murals designed by the students and repainted three exterior fences, using nearly 53 gallons (200 liters) of Sigma Coatings™ paints by PPG. The murals illustrate themes of family bonds, exploration, and cultural identity, fostering creativity and a sense of belonging for the children.
