2 Brothers Make Unique Tech Using Basins

Opportunities are present all around you as well; you just need to learn how to identify and step into them. There is nothing in the Universe that says you can’t fulfill your own dreams and create a life you want to live. On the contrary, the Universe actually invites you to step into who you were created to be, offering your unique skills to others in ways only you can.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur embarking on your next business idea or a visionary simply wanting to start a new quest in your personal life, you don’t need to wait around for an opportunity to present itself. 

This is the story of Mark & Dennis Kiplel, they used their talent and knowledge to create an opportunity for themselves, an innovation that will not only benefit them but society as well.

Two brothers, Mark Kiplel and Dennis Kiplel, from Nakuru, took advantage of the safety measures implemented during the pandemic in 2020 to harness their creative skills.

Forced to stay at home for about nine months, the duo collaborated to build egg incubators using old basins, among other items. Mark assembles the incubator while Dennis, who pursued animal science, focuses on the eggs until they hatch. 

Speaking to NTV on Tuesday, November 8, the two lauded their parents, who helped fund the venture in its inception.  

“My journey began in 2020 during the pandemic. My education was halted due to the curfew and inter-county lockdown measures put in place.

“It was during the long break that I decided to make the incubator,” Mark recounted.

The innovation can hold a maximum of 38 eggs and is sold for Ksh3,500 to farmers across the country from areas like Kitale, Mombasa, and Kisumu who are focused on chicken rearing.

They attributed the popularity of the product to the pocket-friendly price.

Besides the basin, the incubator includes a thermostat, bulb holder, bulb, and fan. However, one of the parts used is imported from China, where they get it at a lower price.

The bulb provides the eggs with heat, the thermostat regulates the temperature between 37.5 degrees and 38.0 degrees.

On the other hand, the fan is used to distribute the heat inside the enclosed incubator.

Dennis noted that they only use medium-sized eggs to place in the incubator. Some of the eggs, he stated, had deformities like double yokes or lacked necessary cells.

“We are selective in the eggs we place in the incubators,” Dennis explained. 

They conclusively called upon the youths to be creative and create jobs for themselves that benefit the larger community.  The Kiplel brothers noted the profits from the thriving agribusiness are being used to rear chicken.
