Arche Tirol
Steinach am Brenner, Austria
Description
Arche Tirol is a community of people with and without disabilities. Arche Tirol was founded in 1992 and is a Christian-ecumenical community. In our daily routine here is place for spirituality. The work in Arche considers the UN convention for people with disabilities. Currently, 10 people with a disability are accompanied in two houses, one in Steinach am Brenner and one in St. Jodok (a few kilometres distance). Arche takes in people with disabilities at the age of 18. Currently, four people with mental and multiple disabilities live in the Arche House in Steinach and six live in St. Jodok. Our main philosophy is not only to provide care, but also to offer a community, personal relationships and a home.
