An entrepreneur from the start, Kevin Deisser started his first company upon graduating from university. Working in the hospitality industry for Marriott Hotels, Kevin developed a passion for adventure. This led to a 6-month exploration of Asia where he discovered the exponential growth of the Asian property market. Always known as a self-starter, he proceeded to divulge vital information from the regions which led to the launch of the Invest Islands Foundation.

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. Focusing on environmental sustainability the foundation has developed new strategies that aim to empower the local people and provide essentials support. 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.

Ways We Work

ECO-FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENTS

By researching and implementing eco-design techniques, our goal of reducing environmental impact can be achieved. These innovative design techniques enhance recycling abilities and ultimately enforce eco-sustainability.

LOCAL CHARITIES IN INDONESIA

The values of our corporate social responsibility ensure that we assist with the local charities across Indonesia. With regular donations and other charitable activities, we create long-lasting relationships and work together with local communities to have a positive impact.

SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENTS

Whilst investments create the opportunity for financial return, we follow an “impact investing” approach. This ensures that every investment opportunity generates a positive impact on social and environmental economies.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Working alongside the community is out number one priority. We work with the local people of Lombok to provide support and create opportunities they are lacking. This includes access to education, medical treatment, and basic amenities.

I am a teacher by profession and represent education in the local community. I would firstly like to thank Invest Islands Foundation for all of their input and efforts into the education system.
