The home was first set up in the early sixties. It was given for the purpose of providing accommodation for people who had different disabilities and needed assistance. The home in Tangier presently caters for forty-four people.
Residents range from children to adults aged over forty years.
There is roughly the same number of female and male residents. Most of them have physical disabilities but the degree of these differs from one resident to another. Unless prevented by illness all residents attend either school, college or craft workshops and some of them work outside the home itself. The Moroccan authorities supply the home with a small subsidy to cater for the residents. Those residents who have families also get some help.
