Providing Energy From Wind, A Story From Malawi
Thanks to The Pocket for finding such a valuable story and cause for us all to get behind.
William Kamkwamba is a 22 year old from Malawi. During his freshman year in high school, a nasty drought brought hard times to his family's farm in Masitala Village two and a half hours outside of Malawi's capital. They could no longer afford his education, and he was forced to drop out. William began educating himself on the mechanics of renewable energy by borrowing books from a local library. With astounding do-it-yourself ingenuity, he started experimenting with building a windmill in the backyard of his family farm. With great success. And so William's remarkable story begins.
