- From a young age, John Magiro, was drawn to engineering and technology, like moths to flames. His teachers say that he always showed his aptitude for technology. From tinkering with dynamos, John Magiro's hydopower company supplies clean energy to a factory and thousands of rural dwellers in Murang'a County, Kenya. This, thanks to a grant he received through NETFUND and WWF-Kenya.

Look at how the mum is proud a son who had difficulties reading and writting is now a champion.
To God be the glory.
No, the glory belongs to his son.
Quit praising God for the hard work of people.
The face of an African mother, very proud of her son.
This is what's required in Kenya. Innovation and providing solutions to community needs. This the guys who should be rich in Kenya. They have a product to sell and make money but not the crooks in government that only steal tax payers resources to enrich themselves. Some have never worked in life yet are millionaires .
I have been following his story over the years and the fact that he managed to get funding to scale up his idea it is commendable. All the best Magiro, we hope you dethrone the current firms exploiting us on price.
Exactly
Already at my first visit to Kenya, I knew that Kenya is different. There is so much raw talent and industriousness. And good people, too!
I want to say that I saw him give a tedtalk over YT, and then I came to the part where he started making power from bicycle wheels with generating parts attached and I knew it was him! Glad to see him be able to live out his vision of helping power his people's lives too 😊
That's what kenya and Africa needs in great deal. Not just prayers,but prayers with actual action,production
Both are important
@@m.a.c.h.a.r.i.a__we need innovation more than prayers in africa
The whole world needs prayers with action.
@@eustaciogriego1912 the world needs innovation not prayers
@@user-vh3fr3lb8w look at what El Salvados´s president has done, and take account that he credits a lot of things to spirituality. Look up Nayib Bukele´s interview with Tucker Carlson
These are the kind of people we need onto this nation
The reason why we should invest in growing technical skills in the youth, and value not only theoretical kind of education, but people that have skills in technical things. He is very gifted.
Mungu made this statement boldly to mankind “ I created you from my image” those who understand the true meaning of this statement flourish skol or no skol! You are a talking, walking, breathing, and re producing greatest computer ever made! You only need to use that inbuilt computer properly and wisely and you are good to go! Never be discouraged
From
My home region…we love you Magiro
Wow, what a genius. Who has noticed how confident the guy is. Imagine if Kenya produced 100k guys like this, we would go far. Sadly, we produce more corrupt guys instead of innovators.
No, you just promote the corrupt, more than you do the innovative. You have made corruption more lucrative than innovation.
how about you work on yourself and stop whining like a small little brat
The sad part is such people can't be elected in political arenas and instead we love conmen and conwomen. We will vote the best liar and thief in power and then complain after. Who bewitched us?
The politicians block innovative youth because the innovators are not their kids or themselves , plus that's the colonial policy left behind neocolonialism to stop population growth and innovation so they can dump things but china has been the beneficiary with their cheap products
When vision meets resources miracles will happen
These is the kind of education system needed
Exactly not indonctrinatiin of things that will.nevrr help you in life
We hide you champion may they never see you
Very inspiring, this is proof that passion and dedication can lead to some insane products.
A truly humbling game changer.
We need more of such.
Amazing... inspired the Africa I want to live in...
do some research.... like any at all.. and you'll see why this was bs.
@@lastlaugh5178, continue to engage in research and criticize others' efforts as worthless, despite their contributions to making positive change and earning income. This narrative portrays you as an absolute loser.
Explore Africa, is a place full of untapped opportunities and potential.
Had to subscribe this is so inspirational
Beautiful story. Sheer grit and no excuses.
These are the heroes of kenya.not the thieves in government
Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍
The Man!
The mother is really happy
The is a lot of cash in Kenya and thousands of talented youth who can give us 1000 more projects like this, but our "leaders" are busy squandering the money. What a shame!!!
Even more inspiring is this guy is not doing this for fame or riches - he had a dream to help and is carrying it out.
The Kenyan people voted for those leaders.
meeeen my god,,,,the whole 4.44 minutes are so humbling,,, it is possible✊✊✊✊
mashallah
A genus man from home 💪💪 and because of his invention we don't always depend on kplc but we have his power supply which is more efficient than kplc blackout faulty 😂😂😂😂 I love this man
John story is an example of how innovation and dedication can create sustainable solutions for energy challenges. His ability to transform simple materials into a community-changing project is an inspiration to us, demonstrating that great achievements often start with small, resourceful steps. 🔧
This is commendable! Congratulations to Magiro and team.
Great stuff
What brilliant mind over there this are the kind of innovators who should be recognised nationally and international, I love how the mother spoke in native kikuyu language then mkatafuta translators
Outstanding .
From a boy who struggled to read and write... congratulations bro and keep it up. The future is bright
I'm motivated 🙏 thank you
That's a cool setup.
This is amazing 👏👏👏👏👏
Very inspiring, great minds. Projects like these should be embraced and get heavy funding. Kudos
This is awesome.
I watched a magiro power plant years ago, very nice
Radar Safi Sana Magiro.
Amazing! Inspiring!
This inspiration, encouraging, excellent, innovative and beautiful.. I'm proud of this young man.. Blessings. Keep it up 👏
Something like this will never be allowed in many countries it would interfere with the earnings of the Local Electricity Supply Commissions. There's similar project in Malawi but not as organized, I'm so happy for these boys.Make cash and bring light to all those African countries that are still in the dark
Great innovation
am soo proud
Awesome and outstanding
Amazing
Brilliant idea keep it up bro
Damn this is pure innovation....
Wow. Inspirational
Great stuff! May he win! May he find a way to make electric power reliable (99.9999% uptime) across Kenya.
Quite inspiring!
How cool is that!
Good work , so unfortunate that or selkal dont supprt such . Hope you be great.
I always look forward to his new videos.They are just inspirational. Someone should make his movie.
Thesebis right like that movie known as a boy who hannesed the wind they are very simillar
Brilliant mind
Great mind.
God is Good
Good job Magiro!
Very awesome
Proud
My village mate... we are proud of you Magiro
Kazi poa mzee
great INNOVATIVE works.congrats from MATHIOYA TECHNICAL COLLEGE Located at kamacharia.
wow
Wow
Impressive
All the young man
Bravo bro
Excellent work and good performance am proud of you. This is what I call innovation without kusema tafhadali mweshimiwa nataka appointment with you? May Almighty God bless Kenya with people of this type. How can keep in contact with you Sir?
This is my guy
This is a kenyan celebrate❤❤❤❤
People are still confusing energy with electricity or electric grid
Energy we use mostly is mechanical rotational (washing machine, heat exchangers, fridge compressor, workshop tools, kitchen mixer, grain mills,etc) that can be powered directly by a shaft of vawt wind turbine or water turbine as this case
The other energy we use is thermal for cooking, glass or metal melting, clay curing furnace, etc and that can be obtained by simple big solar water lenses or aluminum mirror concentrated solar
Electricity is only needed for citcuits
Great work comrade,, we are capable of doing more and more only that we don't have support,some government rules kills talents,, I have all that it needs,but all I have done is almost nothing and what I see probably I will end up just like thaaaat.... So disappointed 😞
Good initiative. How about upscaling it to other far-flung areas of Africa and gloval south, devoid of electricity?
Do you really know Africa or you just talking?
@@Dizzy_N I'm born, bred and raised in Kenya, East Africa. I doubt if you got the jist of my statement. Let me break it down for you.
If institutions and governments can tap into this and spread it across their spheres of influence, for education, health, security and innovation,it would be a game changer. The flip side concern is, how many are willing to bring positive change?
@@brianmarv Good to know where you from. Trust me I understood your statement. There are so many people, land and resources in these different countries in Africa. These people need to utilize their own resources more effectively and the majority of them could make their own energy amongst other things without having to import it even from their own neighbors. It's so Pan African but it's inefficient.
@@Dizzy_N exactly. But many do not even gave access to basic power. This is something they can tap into.
Kenya needs as many small and local power generating stations in addition to the mega ones.
Please do a follow up with how many homes are powered by a Magiro HydroBox turbine. Also, what is the cost to build each HydroBox hydropower station?
No man is limited
Can I be informed about the same plant availability
For those who keep on saying innovators get killed or sijui nini in this land. Huyu ameishi! Msiogope.
Share the knowledge with your black African people. Before it is stolen by the enemies of black people.
He does, employed many youths
😂😂😂😂
there's nothing new ya kuiba hapa
funding yenyewe imetoka kwa hao enemies unataja
Stolen by who? 😂 this is not even an innovation, he just implemented something that has been around for over a century in a small scale. There's no knowledge to be stolen here😂
I am pretty sure hydroelectric is a well-established technology - well over 120 years old
Both guys
Where is the project located...we would like to visit and learn
Compare and contrast to a young Irish lad who took a 4 inch pipe of water from a river to power a turbine. The authorities got a digger in, destroyed the pipe, turbine and small impound pool made by moving a few large rocks leaving a pile of rubbish (the materials alone probably cost about 200-500 euro) and told the local farmer to clear it up!! Kenya he's a hero, Ireland and most of Europe, get your ass kicked for being a naughty boy! The river in question, back in the 1830's had a dozen water powered mills on it, all gone today. Such a great resource ignored for giant wind turbine monstrosities plaguing our skylines, that don't even supply basic demand and cost a fortune via our energy bills.
Here in Tz there few like him but they don't wanna know them
Nobody cares about tz ,, this is kenya
If many African countries had supportive leaders like Kenya we would have been somewhere. But most countries can not support such talent because of envy. If you check out countries having load shedding as at now have a lot of such brilliant talented minds among their youths to minimize the problem, but just can't support them because of jealous. Yet they have PhD holders in electrical engineering among the ministers and managers of power utility companies who aren't innovative. Shame!!!
This must be somewhere in muranga
Yes it is, Mathioya constituency , near Kangema
An individual can do such amazing work,but when it comes to govt, it takes centuries and billions to realise the same.kudos
Likes for the dyslexic people❤
I thought kplc doesnt allow anyone to supply power
Hope zakayo will not disturb this project
Kplc iwache kujiona Simba kila time
If a mechanic can dismantle the vehicle engine and assemble them, what does he lack not make to an engine from a scratch?
why some video dont have view play and sound? does content creators can set it in the settings??? you want me click your video right???😂😂😂😂
R u to asijue iyo😁
Sounds great but the issue here is the gov of Kenya is nowhere to be seen what a shame to us as a continent we can't support our own. 😂😂😢😢
Imagine
Talent or skill
Wait so he is the founder .. hope the CEO is not taking ownership but an employee he can fire after he learns how to be a CEO
where permit?
Kenya power is happy ?
He sells to kplc
Nope
You can't do this in Canada. They don't want you to have free things hahaha. Oh the irony... even small houses are not allowed because the city council will not make money if hod forbid you live for free
Soon kplc will shut down him i know how corrupt this people are
There are several others in this cou😢
Ìs he trying to speak English or what language is that?? He better speak his local language and hand someone translate
woman being forced to say god is good... @wwf Kenya you have NO shame
our people believe in God for ages greatest people gikuyu people she just said what she believes because people thought her son was nuts in class one trying to make electricity she said it one day God will be glorified and thats what has happened i have followed their story for years at innoro what i am against is they have stolen from him it should continue to be called magiro power not some yt guys name he did not give magiro this gift
you don't Know what you're saying.....
I can assure you that she is not being forced. Most NGOs don't even like to align themselves to religion because they don't like to offend, and you should know that there are many donors who are not religious. This is a very common thing for Kenyans to thank God for everything because most are religious, especially the women.
