“Inspirational Red Bull for the humanitarian soul and proof positive that you can help fix our broken world and make a difference in the lives of countless others.”
—The Austin Chronicle

“An inspiring documentary that builds hope for the youth of Kenya, and empowers people thousands of miles away to affect change through small yet significant contributions.”
—Slackerwood.com

The culmination of the Nobelity Project’s Global Change Trilogy follows Turk Pipkin’s promise to help build the first high school for a remote African community, connecting Americans and Kenyans in a true story of BUILDING HOPE. Through challenges and triumphs, 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.

The film includes appearances by Kenyan youth counselor Auma Obama, sister of President Barack Obama, and by Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture for Humanity, and features music by Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Eliza Gilkyson, Kat Edmonson, and Ayub Ogada.

The Nobelity Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to basic rights for all children. Proceeds from the film benefit their Kenya Schools Fund, building classrooms, libraries, computer labs, and water systems at rural Kenyan schools.
