💡 The Boy Who Built a Windmill

In 2002, a terrible famine hit Malawi, and 14-year-old William Kamkwamba had to leave school because his family could not pay the fees. But William did not stop learning. He went to the library, found a book about energy, and built a windmill from old bicycle parts, a tractor fan, and blue gum trees. His invention brought electricity to his home and changed his life forever.
