L'Arche, for over 40 years, has operated in some of the most economically disadvantaged countries in the world, which gives direct experience of how conflicts, earthquakes, floods and civil unrest have a direct and disproportionate impact on the lives of vulnerable men and women with intellectual disabilities. In such places, when disaster comes, the people with disabilities we support are as affected as anyone else, and we often become a focal point for local disabled people as well, because we are a trusted agency. We are committed to continuing this support.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan: Ongoing.
