Description

Presents a story of how William Kamkwamba, an African teenager built a windmill from scraps to create electricity for his home and his village, improving life for himself and his neighbors.

Description

In this memoir adapted for young readers, William Kamkwamba describes the drought that struck his tiny village in Malawi, his subsequent interest in science, and his idea to build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land.
