Across Ireland/Northern Ireland and around the world, L’Arche creates communities of friendship and belonging. In L’Arche, people with and without intellectual disabilities live, work, learn, and grow together. We believe that whatever one’s intelligence, every person has a gift to share with others.
L’Arche demonstrates that when persons with intellectual disabilities take their place at the table, they contribute to a more just, compassionate, and vibrant world for all.
L’Arche started in Trosly, France as a response to the segregation and institutional care of people who had an Intellectual disability at that time. There are now 154 communities in 38 countries around the World in the International Federation of L’Arche communities.
