Unable to afford school fees, William Kamkwamba, 14, dropped out of secondary school in Malawi and taught himself to make a windmill from scratch.

His invention generated more than just clean energy for his village (which never had power), but also lots of attention – from the media and the social sector.

Watch William’s remarkable story in this short documentary that premiered on Pangea Day.
