Answering impactful questions that improve lives in low-resource communities
Who We Are
Noble Pursuits gathers contextually relevant data, reports impactful results, and trains the next generation.
We at Noble Pursuits are a diverse group of impact-focused scientists with specialties in water, sanitation, menstrual hygiene, nutrition, housing, and renewable power production.
Our goal is to improve lives in low-resource communities around the world through comprehensive context-appropriate research, engineering and education services.
What We Do
Noble Pursuits provides research, engineering, and education services that aim to improve lives in low-resource communities. Our research strives to describe complex context-specific systems in low-resource communities to produce results that private, public and government programs can use to change lives via improved public health, livelihoods, and safety. Engineering related systems is frequently required to affect change; our engineering services support our research or can be applied independently based on project requirements. Last, our education services ensure that our knowledge and experience with improving lives in low-resource communities is communicated to the next generation of researchers and engineers.
