Now operating 151 communities, 14 projects in 37 countries around the world, L'Arche works closely with people with an intellectual disability so that each person can play their full role in society. At the heart of L'Arche communities are relationships between people with and without intellectual disabilities. A respectful relationship between people who treat each other as of equal value provides security, allowing for growth, personal development and freedom to become more fully the people we want to be. Most importantly, mutual relationships foster the acceptance of each person as a unique and valuable individual, whatever his or her abilities or disabilities.
