Amarach is the Irish language word for “tomorrow,” pronounced uh-MAR-agh. The Irish is a reference to Dr. Boston’s family heritage, honoring the past while looking towards the future. It is also a reference to the Khalil Gibran poem, “On Children”, which talks about how our children “dwell in the house of tomorrow”. Dr. Boston founded this company and chose the name while taking care of his newborn daughter. It is important to him that someday she has her “house of tomorrow” in a safe, equitable, sustainable, and inclusive community. Amarach’s mission is to help you build those communities.
