Shared space provider opens up a new hub in Eldoret

Flexible and creative co-working space provider Kikao64 has announced the opening of its new co-working space, in Eldoret town. 

Inspired by the Swahili word ‘kikao’ (a place of coming together), Kikao64 was conceived as a modern gathering place where people can work, connect and thrive, in a space designed to provide a fully serviced, flexible, and conducive environment to increase business opportunities and provide access and exposure needed for success, especially for young people in Eldoret facing barriers, while also supporting non-profit organizations, athletes and startups in need.

Kikao64 is supported by a dedicated on-site team of customer service professionals. In addition to being connected to one of the fastest and most reliable Wi-Fi and internet connections in Kenya, Kikao64  also offers auxiliary services such as printing and other key consulting services on company registration, legal, tax, and audit matters and web design and social marketing.

Comfortable furnishings, an in-house café and set in a spacious garden, ensure that Kikao64 is a productive, friendly, and efficient all-in-one place to get things done.

RESPONSIVE TO ELDORET’S NEW NEEDS

Kikao64 is a comprehensive response to Eldoret’s new high-tech community of entrepreneurs, start-ups, nonprofits, freelancers and creatives with a growing demand for flexible modern office spaces in their hometown – Eldoret. 

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Housed in a sensitively restored heritage building, Kikao64 not only conserves the charm of the original architecture but is also designed and refurbished to the highest environmental standards.

For instance, the desks were built from reclaimed timber, the office spaces partitioned using recycled milk cartons, phone booths soundproofed using felt from old clothing and blanket lines, while the windows and door grills were made locally from wrought iron.

Additionally, the space runs completely on solar power to light the rooms and charge laptops while rainwater is harvested, filtered and used for general cleaning and sanitation, and garden irrigation. Meanwhile the staff vegetable garden is kept healthy and green with natural compost.

A CULTURE OF COLLABORATION AND COMMUNITY

Members will have access to regular networking sessions, training workshops and special events ranging from guest speakers to art exhibitions to film screenings.

Kikao64’s ultimate strength lies in the quality of the people who work and gather there. With a diverse staff and vibrant, varied member community, Kikao64 is an example of the magic that happens when motivated people connect and are supported to pursue their dreams.

Kikao64 offers members either daily, weekly, or monthly passes through an online booking system.
