His Entire Community Doubted Him, Then He Made Something That Changed Their Lives.

In this TED Talk, young Malawian William Kamkwamba describes how he built a windmill to power his family’s home aged 14, during a time of poverty and famine. The windmill produced electricity and was built from spare parts and scrap.
