Regional Development & Impact Investment Projects

Impulse for development is an organization for the development and realization of projects in emerging and developing countries. Together with our partners, we identify, structure and finance projects with positive impact to our focused regions and countries. Our partners are persons, companies, organizations and institutions who care that their financial engagement interacts with positive development impulses.

With Blueorange Development Partner GmbH,  a well known German urban development & investment company, we have a strong partner on our side, with vast experiences in project development and project realization, integrated in a large organization of banks and investment entities. In partnership with local and international experts, companies and institutions, we carry out impact investment projects in our partner regions to achieve social, ecological and economical impulses.

Radio station to remote indigenous village in the Amazon Rainforest

In October 2019 Impulse 4 Development visited its local partner in the Amazon. Discussions with representatives from different indigenous communities revealed the difficulty locals had in communicating with medical personnel and other indigenous communities in an emergency situation.

Impulse 4 Development organised the necessary funding to install a radio station for the locals to be able to communicate with the remote indigenous communities. They were now able to communicate better both between communities as well as in emergency situations after installing the communication radio.

New boat for expeditions to remote indigenous communities

Indigenous communities can now receive medical support thanks to a new boat. During the pandemic in 2020 our partners expedition boat that takes doctors and dental staff into remote indigenous communities in the Amazonian region broke down and was unable to be repaired. As there is no infrastructure such as roads, boats are a very important method of transport.

This was very harmful for them because transportation with boat is vital for reaching the remote locations for medical support. Therefore, Impulse 4 Development decided to support its partner organization and invest in a new boat. With the impact investment capital, they were able to buy a new boat a few weeks later and were then able to continue with their expeditions.

Partnership with an NGO in Amazon Rainforest

In the Amazon, we work in partnership with Instituo Amor, a non-profit, self-sustaining, free and independent non- governmental organization, formed by a group of volunteer friends who actively seek to improve health, education and work opportunities in remote and isolated communities in Amazonia (Brazil), who suffer from extreme social vulnerability.By organizing regular boat expeditions across the Negro River, they offer free medical and dental care to indigenous and riverside populations in remote and isolated communities, preventive actions and complex procedures, in addition to donating allopathic and herbal medicines of indigenous ancestral origin, produced by entity itself.The Solidarity Expeditions will give you a beautiful opportunity to experience the profound magic of the true Amazon and share a wonderful exchange of knowledge.

All financial resources from the expeditions are fully invested by the Amor Institute to support the peoples of the forest:
- In educational projects, offering dozens of open and free courses such as adult literacy, interpretation of indigenous language and signs of nature, production of organic foods, screen printing techniques, musicality and others.

- In health projects, offering in addition to assistance with the ambulance boat to remote communities, full support for patients with more serious illnesses for accommodation, transportation, food, equipment and complementary exams in hospitals in cities such as Manaus (AM) and São Paulo (SP).

- In work and income generation projects, supporting the opening of businesses by providing initial and working capital, managerial support and supply of raw materials, creating conditions for the development of human dignity, social inclusion and full autonomy.

What is Impact Investment?






Impact investment is needed to meet the global challenges that we face today. Impact investing is a way of investing with the intention of generating positive, measurable social and environmental impacts alongside a financial return. It helps to address social and environmental issues like climate change, hunger, and poverty.

Impact investing allows us to be a part of social change that makes a measurable difference for our planet and future generations. Investing in social or environmental opportunities broadens our horizons and gives us an opportunity to drive positive change.
