In July 2009 Régis and Claire de Kerautem created the 1Toit2Ages (‘one roof, two ages’) programme in Brussels.  It now also covers other towns such as Namur, Mons, Liège, Tournai, Charleroi, Arlon, and Louvain la Neuve. More than 5000 matches have been made.

1Toit2Ages is increasingly welcoming students into nursing homes. In exchange for their services to the residents, the students receive a low rent.

1Toit2Ages is composed of a team with very diverse profiles; lawyer, social worker, journalist, neuropsychologist, economist, professors, senior… each one bringing his skills, his knowledge, his sensitivity and his listening to this purely Human project. ​

Types of participants served:
The programme benefits, on one hand, students who need a room to study and young workers and, on the other hand, older people (aged 50 plus) who can offer a furnished room from September to June. The oldest home provider so far is 101 years old.

Our mission
Breaking the loneliness of the elderly and facilitating access to housing for students.

​Our dream ?
A society where generations support and enrich each other.
We believe in it and are doing everything we can to achieve it!

Awards:
Among other distinctions such as the Brussels awards….1Toit2Ages received the SilverEco and Ageing Well International Awards in France in 2022.
