Our work is simple. Across the world we invite people with and without intellectual disabilities to build community together.
L’Arche across the world is launching an exciting campaign: ‘With and Without’.
For almost 60 years, we’ve created spaces of friendship where people, with and without intellectual disabilities, share living experiences and are enriched by each other’s vision of the world. L’Arche is a movement of shared moments in life, from the most mundane to the most special. It’s about creating diverse and engaged communities and making inclusion a priority, changing the way we look at disability.
With and Without, we are essential to each other. And there is no limit to what we can accomplish together!
