---

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is the inspiring story of William Kamkwamba. He grew up in Malawi as the son of a corn and tobacco farmer. William faced hardships throughout his childhood including poverty, famine, and lack of educational opportunities. None of those hardships stopped him from success though. He became interested in electronics and did everything in his power to learn whatever he could. He wanted to make life for his family better and decided that building a windmill would help him do that. This is his story.
