background

founders

Invest Islands Foundation was founded back in early 2019 by Jack Brown and Kevin Deisser.

The goal was to create a non-profit foundation that would establish a sustainable local economy in underdeveloped areas.

The foundation has focused on educational reform and interactive community tasks to encourage a clean environment and preserve the natural beauty in idyllic locations.The foundation has implemented various projects in line with their strategic goals which has resulted in unprecedented changes in these local communities. In addition to this, Invest Islands Foundation provides eco-friendly developments that assist the economy, the community, and ultimately benefit the environment.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

mission

We empower marginalised/disadvantaged groups of the Lombok community through educational and economic development programs that create jobs and promote sustainability especially for women and the youth

vision

We operate to restore hopes and improve the livelihoods of the Lombok people

approach

All projects for Invest Islands Foundation are driven by the locals of the Lombok region. Without the participation and motivation of these locals, the projects may not have seen the success they have. Each project is focused on solving one issue at a time with the results being measured and processes amplified to expand into more successful projects across the region.

impact

Invest Islands Foundation has already had a profound impact on the local communities in Lombok with several successful projects. These have ultimately improved the environment, created employment opportunities, and provided daily essentials to the locals of the region. This positive impact aligns with the company's strategic goals and contributes to future success.
