It is situated in the rural part of Western Kenya - it works with local innovators to use the local materials in creating products that addresses the community needs and encourage home industries.

Aro Fablab works under Arc-Kenya which is a local NGO with a mission of leading transformation of lives of poor rural communities using technology and innovation. For this reason this Fablab provides a research station for the potential programmes intended to give solutions to the corresponding challenges. It also works with learning institutions and entrepreneurs. The lab focuses most on using wastes to create something needed by the community which can be both cost effective and environmental friendly
