We are a part of a network of over 2000 labs spread over 100 countries across the world. We have a customized set of tools and machines that enable users to make and easily replicate designs made by other members of the network. FabLab Winam is a community, open-access laboratory and a hub of knowledge-share, skills and digital fabrication, empowering the community (creative fabricators, artists, scientists, engineers, educators, students, amateurs, and professionals of all ages); through local and distributed manufacturing, research, and education. We uphold a culture of making, collaboration, creativity, and localization. We are located in Kisumu, Kenya serving innovators in the entire country but mostly those around the Lake Basin Region.
