According to
the Ted talks, William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, South East
Africa. He had 6 sisters and was the only boy besides his dad in
his family. Williams father was a farmer in his village, and his
family depended on the rain to water the plants so they could
harvest and eat them. William lived in a small house with no
electricity and no water. His sisters had to walk to the nearest
water source and then carry it back to their home just so they
could have water. Once William was old enough he went to school. He
enjoyed school and was fascinated how things work. At school
William usually had a banana for lunch and other kids wanted to
take it, but William refused. William ignored them and did not
listen to other people trying to command him. In 2001, the rain
stopped and there was no crops, which means less food (
TedTalk). William
by then was a teen and he was very concerned about the famine. One

When William
came back he had another idea to build another windmill that pumped
water. William had gotten money to build a second Windmill back in
America so instead of a junkyard he used the money to buy pieces.
William had more experience so it took him a shorter time to build
the Windmill. When William finished his Windmill it had two
propellers and pumped water for his family and village. Once again
the Journalist came back and invited him in another Ted Talk. This
time William got to see the real Windmills and how they worked in
Palm Springs. Then William decided to give a school a Windmill in
Africa. William did not do it alone most of the kids helped him
make it.
As you can see William built his windmills to provide
electricity for his home and water for his family and village. Now,
William would like to make a company that builds windmills so that
a lot of people can have electricity and a close water source
throughout their lives. William took one sentence out of a book and
made it into a life changing
