Modern day Don Quixote- William Kamkwamba’s village was on the verge of starvation from the drought. He was kicked out of school when he couldn't pay a few dollars in school fees, so he spent his days at the library instead, where he found a book with photographs of windmills... The then-14-year-old taught himself to build makeshift wind turbines. He scoured through junkyards for items, including bicycle parts, plastic pipes, tractor fans and car batteries. For the tower, he collected wood from blue-gum trees.
“Everyone laughed at me when I told them I was building a windmill. They thought I was crazy.”
That was 2002. Now, he has five windmills, the tallest at 37 feet. He built one at an area school that he used to teach classes on windmill-building. The windmills generate electricity and pump water in his hometown, north of the capital, Lilongwe. Neighbors regularly trek across the dusty footpaths to his house to charge their cellphones. Others stop by to listen to Malawian reggae music blaring from a radio that he helped power. He saved his entire village from starvation. He even improved upon the original design. #BeABossNotABitch
