Summary

The Nobelity Project is nearing completion of Mahiga Hope HIgh School in, an innovative, sustainable facility for hundreds of Kenyan students. Join the Choir - Be one of 1000 Voices for Hope!

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

The Nobelity Project has partnered with a low-income community with great results for the local primary school. But education shouldn’t end after the 8th grade. With no high school in the area, the children of Mahiga had few options in life. Be one of 1000 Voices for Hope! Join the Choir with our donors Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett and Emily & Martie of The Dixie Chicks. 1,000 donors x $100 = HOPE! OUR GRAND OPENING ON OCTOBER 1 WAS GREAT, BUT WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE SCIENCE LABS & GARDENS!

How will this project solve this problem?

Matching funding has enabled The Nobelity Project and the community to build 8 modern classrooms, a computer lab and a library, kitchen and more. The award-winning RainWater Court is done and we are beginning the biology, physics chemistry labs.

Potential Long Term Impact

To enable the education district to provide a full 12-year education for all local students, up to 100 students per grade. The aim is for every student to have a diploma and the qualifications for employment or advancement to Kenyan Universities.

Project Message

The sea is made up of drops of water. What you do, where you are, is of significance. In Africa, they say there is only one way of eating an elephant... one piece at a time.
- Desmond Tutu, from "Nobelity"
