Our young people with disabilities
Numbered 76, our young adults with disabilities are the heart of our action and our lives. They are affected by mental disability, physical disability, polyhandicap, or degenerative diseases.
They are welcomed in our Home of Tenderness according to different modalities adapted to their needs and those of their families.
Young and old people
Why do we call them young people? When Anta Akhi was created more than 25 years ago, the first people welcomed were in their twenties ... Calling them "young people" was obvious! Today, some of our young people have gray hair ... but youth is more like a state of mind, right?
Families to support
"Assuming the handicap is not easy, but the Anta Akhi team has supported us well over time, things have become simpler: no mom wants the handicap, but once we take charge of it, we overcome difficulties more easily.
I continue to thank the Lord for all that Michael has given us. I am very proud of my son! His brothers too! "
..Mother of Michael, with BMI and Little Syndrome
