Our Organization.

E3invest is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization focused on helping individuals and/or groups of people create income generation units by starting their own small businesses with the help and resources of our team and microloan program. Through engaging, equipping, and expanding economic development by funding these businesses, we empower people to impact many and eradicate poverty. The primary vehicle through which this is done is our microloan program. Click here to learn more about our microloan program.

We currently operate in southeastern India in the state of Andhra Pradesh where, over many years, we have established deep relationships with educators, doctors, and other nonprofits. E3i’s goal is to expand our area of operations into Asia, Africa, and Central America over the next ten years.

Our Founder’s Story.

My name is Mike Roberts, President and founder of E3invest. In 1998, I was invited by a friend to go on a trip to the interior, under-developed villages of India and meet people mostly unknown.

I did not know exactly why, but a map and some pictures of India years earlier had intrigued me and began to captivate my heart. So, with a journal in hand, I joined my friend on a journey through The Republic of India, including 52 hours by plane, 48 hours of train rides, as well as many hours on various and assorted vehicles. It was India or bust and there was no tourist destination in sight.

Like stepping onto another planet, what I encountered was amazing - a passionate people with an untapped desire and destiny. These people were hungry to make a positive difference in their communities and for their families. People with great desire but severely under-resourced. During and following that trip, it was clear that India would forever be part of my calling. It is no longer just a faraway land, but a place filled with brothers and sisters who I and E3invest serve, lead, and empower as the new India emerges.
