L'Arche Community

L'Arche Community is a global network of communities where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together in a spirit of mutual support and friendship. Founded in 1964 by Jean Vanier in France, L'Arche emphasizes the value of every person and promotes inclusion, respect, and compassion. In these communities, individuals share their lives, developing deep relationships and fostering a sense of belonging. L'Arche not only provides caregiving but also empowers individuals with disabilities to participate actively in community life, challenging societal perceptions of disability and promoting a more inclusive society.
