What if you helped us design a more inclusive society?

Located in the Vevey region, between town and countryside, the Cité du Genévrier welcomes adults with disabilities due to intellectual impairment. A multidisciplinary and multi-site structure, it offers those it supports a particularly harmonious living and working environment as well as a range of skills tailored to the needs and aspirations of each individual.

Integrated into the Eben-Hézer Foundation, the Cité du Genévrier is the custodian of the moral testament of its founder, Sister Julie Hofmann. It thus considers the happiness of the people it supports as the ultimate goal of its work.
