William Kamkwamba je tvorca, ktorý sa preslávil svojou neochvejnou zvedavosťou a vynaliezavosťou. Napriek prerušenému vzdelaniu kvôli hladomoru sa ponoril do štúdia z malej komunitnej knižnice. Jeho fascinácia veternými turbínami ho inšpirovala k tomu, aby si svojpomocne postavil vlastnú, využívajúc recyklované materiály. Jeho inovácie v oblasti obnoviteľných zdrojov priniesli elektrinu a nádej jeho komunite. Kamkwamba stelesňuje silu vzdelávania a vytrvalosti pri prekonávaní prekážok.
