William Kamkwamba was fourteen and living in drought-stricken Malawi when he stumbled on a library book called Using Energy, and saw a picture of a windmill.
He thought that if he could make one, he could provide electricity for his family, pump water and irrigate crops, and power light for reading at night, as well as a radio. So William set about to make his windmill out of spare parts and scrap he found: wood, a bicycle frame, a pulley, a piece of plastic pipe, some wire. He figured out how to make his windmill from the picture (he couldn’t read English and had had to drop out of school because his parents couldn’t afford the fees); he took the basic idea and made it his own. William’s first windmill generated enough power to light four bulbs and a radio. After local press reported William’s astonishing achievement, Hactivate picked up the story.
