- L'Arche is an international organization of faith-based communities which create places of support for people who have learning disabilities.

 
- As an ecumenical faith-based organisation L'Arche recognizes the spiritual and religious needs and aspirations of its members, and respects those who have no spiritual or religious affiliation. Our community and faith life inspire us to be open to people of differing intellectual capacity, social origin,religion, race, and culture.
