William Kamkwamba is a Malawian engineer, author, and innovator. When he was at the tender age of 14, he built an electricity-producing windmill from spare parts and scraps working from rough plans he found in a library book called Using Energy and modifying them to fit his needs. The windmill he built powers four lights and two radios in his family home. Since then, he has built a solar-powered water pump that supplies the first drinking water in his village and two other wind turbines and is planning two more!
Oh, and did we forget to mention that he is just 29!
