After rebuilding a rural Kenyan primary school, Turk Pipkin and The Nobelity Project agree to help build the area’s first high school - including the award-winning RainWater Court, classroom building, science and computer labs, and a library.
Through drought, flood, and fundraising challenges, Building Hope chronicles the construction of Mahiga Hope High, and the connection between a thousand people in the U.S. and an African community working to create a better future for their children.
In 2009 The Nobelity Project began construction on Mahiga Hope High School in rural Kenya.
Construction of the school has earned the Nobelity Project a nomination for Architecture for Humanity's book, Design Like You Give a Damn 2, the sequel to Design Like You Give a Damn, which is a collection of writings about projects taking place around the world designed to benefit humanity.
