威廉 坎万巴出生在马拉维,一个对现代科学一无所知的非洲国家,他也是一块儿干旱和饥饿的土地,所以它是一个很难找到希望和机会的地方.但14岁的威廉并不这样认为,威廉喜欢读书,他读了一本有关风车的书,书名叫“利用能量”.自那时起,他就有了一个梦想：建设一个能把电和水带到他的村庄并改变他的以及他周围的人们的（风车）.他的先是邻居嘲笑他并认为他疯了.尽管威廉的父母无法负担他的教育,并在他家的小农场里饿了5个月后,他仍然拒绝放弃他的梦想.威廉开始从他父亲坏掉的自行车到他母亲缝衣线中收集材料.用这些材料,威廉建造了一个简单的风车,它能够为4盏灯供电并从地下抽出干净的水.尽管电和水很普通,但只有2%的马拉维人负担得起,现在,威廉的发明既能够提供饮用水,也可以提供灌溉用水.23,威廉要在整个马拉维,没准儿也在马拉维以外建造风车.风车不光意味着电能,它也意味着自由.
