The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope by William Kamkwamba is an inspiring true story of ingenuity, perseverance, and hope. Growing up in Malawi during a time of severe drought and hunger, William lived in a world where modern science felt distant and unreachable. Yet after discovering books about windmills, he dreamed of building one to bring electricity and running water to his village.

With little more than discarded scrap metal, bicycle parts, and borrowed science textbooks, William set out to build a windmill despite ridicule and disbelief from those around him. His determination led to a breakthrough that transformed his community and captured global attention. Uplifting and deeply human, this memoir is a powerful reminder of how curiosity and persistence can change lives, even in the most difficult circumstances.
