The Nobelity Project

The Nobelity Project has partnered with numerous organizations over the past two decades, including but not limited to Care, A Glimmer of Hope Foundation, Concern Worldwide and Architecture for Humanity.

And more recently, with Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT) for college scholarships, Start A Library Trust creating libraries in rural Kenyan schools, and BookSpring increasing literacy for low income families in Central Texas - just to name a few.

The film follows filmmaker Turk Pipkin’s personal journey to find enlightening answers about the kind of world our children and grandchildren will know.

The film features Steven Weinberg, Jody Williams, Ahmed Zewail, Rick Smalley, Wangari Maathai, Sir Joseph Rotblat, Dr. Harold Varmus, Desmond Tutu, and Amartya Sen.

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.

In 2009, The Nobelity Project began construction on Mahiga Hope High School in rural Kenya.

In 2009, Nike, Inc. awarded The Nobelity Project, in partnership with Architecture for Humanity, a "Game Changers Award", an architectural grant to build a multiple purpose game, performance and rain water collection facility.
