Building Communities |
|
with People who have Learning Disabilities |
Having fun is a key part of life in L’Arche. We choose activities we can all enjoy. |
Our aim is to create communities which welcome people with a learning disability and those who choose to live with them, or support them.
L'Arche seeks to respond to the unhappiness of those who too often are rejected and to give them a valid place in society.
L'Arche also seeks to reveal the gifts of people with disabilities.

The first new L'Arche community in Africa in 15 years is being established in Kenya at Nyahururu in the Great Rift Valley. The new community will provide a home and work opportunities for local people with learning disabilities. To donate, click here and write "for Kenya" in the message box.
We always welcome applications from people who want to come to support the community.
We are currently looking for Live-in Assistants and Volunteers.

Our Community needs to grow..
