Early life
Turere is from Kitengela, on the edge of the Nairobi National Park, in Kenya. He began taking care of his father's cattle at the age of nine. In his free time, he tinkered with electrical gadgets. He dismantled household appliances and taught himself to fix them. He collected junkyard components and built inventions, such as fans made out of car parts.

Creation of Lion Lights
“One day, when I was walking around, I discovered that the lions were scared of the moving light,” Turere says to CNN.
