Meet Dรฉsirรฉ Kabengele, a Congolese engineer and founder of Desire Tech, turning everyday problems into practical innovations๐จ๐ฉ
One of his standout inventions is Kivu Fitness a wooden treadmill that operates without electricity or a motor, powered entirely by the userโs own movement.
But thatโs not all. His innovations also include:
1. Congo Recycling turning plastic waste into usable fuel.
2. Agri Africa, developing affordable machinery for small-scale farmers, including a multifunctional mini-tractor developed in 2025.
In 2022, Kabengele was selected by Light RDC among 50 promising young talents in technology.
No electricity. No motor. Just engineering, creativity and determination.
Kenya is crazy, Iโm even starting to freak out.
Imagine getting the chance for a once-in-a-lifetime selfie and, instead of taking it with Emmanuel Macron, you choose Eliud Kipchoge instead.
