How a young man from Malawi built a windmill from scratch

If you haven’t already heard the incredible story of William Kamkwamba - the young man from Malawi who built a windmill from scratch at age fourteen - you should. After suffering through the awful conditions of poverty and a near life-ending famine, Kamkwamba, armed with discarded motor parts, pvc pipe, and an old bicycle wheel, created an energy source - much to the surprise of a village of doubters.

Learn more about this inspiring tale here, and get your hands on his recently released book. It’s a very worthy read.
