Moving Windmills Project

Fuelling African innovation

From the inspiring tale of a simple windmill that sparked a movement, the Moving Windmills Project continues to fuel youthful resilience and ingenuity in Kasungu, Malawi. Rooted in purpose and community, we are committed to revolutionising problem-solving for more sustainable and innovative futures.

Empowering a generation of change makers. From Malawi, to the world.

Building community. Empowering creative problem-solvers.

Since its founding in 2008, inspired by William Kamkwamba’s inventive spirit, the Moving Windmills Project has emerged as a leader in ethical, hands-on development in Malawi. With nearly two decades of experience, our unique approach combines sustainable, circular, and human-centered design, not just offering, but cultivating solutions from within the community to build a lasting legacy.

For nearly two decades, Moving Windmills has:

• Built low-cost water wells with percussion drilling.
• Installed solar powered pumps and energy systems.
• Renovated local schools with new facilities and learning materials.
• Fostered sustainable farming, nutrition and community programs.
