the organisation

The structure of our NGO is clearly outlined in the organizational chart below. Invest Islands Foundation comprises four main initiatives that are essential to the organization's strategic goals. These initiatives include: Bank Sampah, Organiika, Berajah, and Saudari Lombok.

Each initiative has a business-oriented approach, providing clarity, separation, and enabling the initiative to focus on specific critical issues. Organiika focuses on organic food production, Bank Sampah provides waste sorting, Berajah focuses on education, and Saudari Lombok focuses on empowering women, particularly marginalized women, by establishing the first social enterprise led by women in South Lombok.

The foundation is headed by the Managing Director, Masri Asril, and is guided by the core beliefs and values of the organization, including positively impacting the local community and enhancing economic conditions.
