About Us

Within Arms Reach is a 501(c)(3) not for profit design organization, dedicated to bringing design services and education to communities in need.

Our Mission:

Within Arms Reach offers design services to communities and individuals who are in desperate need by providing them with sustainable buildings and educational resources. Using the power of design, we bring construction and development services to people around the world to transform lives. Our goal is to work diligently to make sure our design services are within arms reach of those who are in need.

What We Do:

Our team consists of designers, contractors, business professionals, and anyone with a heart to serve coming together to improve the quality of life for all humanity.  In order to accomplish our mission, we partner up with nonprofits, local contractors, professionals and volunteers from around the world.  We use the power of design to transform lives by constructing schools and homes while building sustainable communities that will endure for a lifetime.

We understand that sustainable design goes beyond the use of materials or having the latest technology implemented in a building. A well thought of design means making sure that our actions and decisions today won’t inhibit the opportunities and resources of future generations.

Why Education:

We believe education arms the future generations the skills they need to improve their own communities.  It frees them from the thought of being powerless, and empowers the children to shape their futures.   There is an enormous need for education around the world and design can be a catalyst for change.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”  Nelson Mandela
