Accessible Hope International

What Accessible Hope International does

Accessible Hope International (AHI) is a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, founded in 2019 by CEO Kim Kargbo. The organization operates a three-pillar model — Equip (theological training curricula and workshops), Empower (the Global Hope Partners network that fiscally sponsors and coaches local ministries serving people with disabilities), and Engage (strategic consulting for churches and ministries pursuing disability inclusion). Direct beneficiaries include 800+ women served through Women of Hope Sierra Leone, 108 children at Nyandengoh! in South Sudan, and 25+ students at Step by Step Learning Centre in Tanzania.

AHI's product surface is curriculum-and-consulting rather than software: core offerings include the Theology of Disability workshop series, Transformation Training tracks such as Beyond 101 and Journey to Wholeness, the GROW Discipleship pilot, and strategic advising engagements with ministries and churches. The organization also operates the Shalom Retreat Centre in Makeni, Sierra Leone, which functions as both a programmatic venue and a modest hospitality asset. Technology plays no differentiated role; AI is explicitly out of scope for the mission model.

The revenue model is diversified across donation channels rather than commercial sales: tiered monthly A-Team giving ($25 / $50 / $100), individual donations, planned giving through a Barnabas Foundation relationship, retreat-center bookings, and in-kind technology donations. In 2025 AHI reported 95 leaders trained and 2,700+ people impacted across an expanded geographic footprint that now includes Zimbabwe, Zambia, Uganda, and Kenya alongside the original Sierra Leone base. No audited financials, headcount figures, or revenue totals are publicly disclosed, limiting visibility into the organization's economic scale.
