And if there are no 'repair cafes' in my city?

If you have something broken, google for how to fix it. Write-ups and
videos are available which will help a lot. Pick up tools at garage
sales or thrift shops.
 
Just try to fix things. Maybe you won't be able to sometimes, but you
will learn a little bit each time you try. Learn to look at things, and
figure out why they are built the way they are. What does that lever do?
What is that thing-a-ma-bob? Also, ask handy friends or neighbors for
ideas. Each thing you (try to) fix will make you better at it. It is a
lifetime process.

I have poor hand eye coordination and I don't have any friends.

Hand eye coordination is a learned thing. The more you challenge your
skills, the better they will get. If you don't want to improve, don't
try, and you won't improve.
 
Read the book "the brain that changes itself" by Norman Doidge, MD, if
you want to see how adaptable the human brain is. This was for me a
fascinating read.

Fuck yeah I am fascinated with the brain.
 
I do have overall coordination issues that are being exacerbated by unbalanced hearing.

I can't remember whether it was that book or the following book that got
into severe balance issues. Read them both. Your library could well
already have them. I bought them both after reading them.
