Access Hope Inc

Access Hope Inc was inspired by the children in the Kipsongo Slum, Kenya. Kipsongo means “place of the dogs”. All the children in the slum are in desperate need.

Founded in December 2010 by Linda Gouldsmith the Founder and CEO of Access Hope, Linda is passionate about making a difference in the lives of those who are desperately under privileged and cannot help themselves. Around 4000 children and adults live as squatters on 5 acres of land in the Kipsongo Slum. They come from Turkana and Pokot tribes

of Northern Kenya. They have been misplaced due to drought, disease and tribal clashes. As Linda walked into the slum in May 2011 she was deeply moved as she was greeted by 3 raggy dressed, dirty, runny nosed children who walked straight up to her and took her by the hand. As she watched little Evans sitting on the ground eating his small bowl of beans and maize with only a t-shirt and one Ugg Boot on, Linda was deeply moved and inspired to do something to help these poor little ones. On the 1st August 2011, we were able to place 20 of the neediest children into Kwetu Nyumbani ‘our home’ for the children of Kipsongo. It’s a safe haven which they can call home! They are loved and cared for, clothed, fed and go to school. We hope our page will inspire you and others to join us in changing the lives of the next generation of Kenyan children.

Our missionary partners in Nigeria are standing on the front lines—bringing hope, sharing the Gospel, supporting vulnerable families, and being a light in communities facing immense challenges.

As we witness the cries for peace and justice, we are reminded that our brothers and sisters in Christ need more than our awareness—they need our support.

Will you stand with them?

Your prayers, encouragement, and financial support help make this vital ministry possible. Together, we can equip local leaders, strengthen communities, and bring hope where it is needed most.

Please pray for protection, provision, and peace across Nigeria, and consider partnering with Access Hope as we support our missionaries faithfully serving on the ground.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.” — Romans 10:15

With courage and unwavering faith, our ministry partner continues to preach the Gospel in Nigeria. 🇳🇬🙏

In a nation where many Christians face persecution, discrimination, and hardship because of their faith in Jesus, sharing the Good News is not always easy. Yet the Church continues to stand, believers continue to worship, and faithful men and women continue to answer God’s call.

Watching this passion for Christ reminds us that the Gospel is worth everything. While many of us worship freely, our brothers and sisters in Nigeria often pay a far greater price for following Jesus.

Please take a moment to pray for protection, strength, and encouragement for believers across Nigeria, and for those boldly proclaiming the hope of Christ in challenging circumstances.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5

📸 A wonderful time of fellowship with our friends at Badgingarra Family Worship Church.

Recently, Linda had the privilege of visiting one of Access Hope’s valued sponsoring churches, Badgingarra Family Worship Church. During her visit, she shared an update on the ministry through a PowerPoint presentation, giving insight into the lives being impacted through the children’s home, community programs and ongoing projects in Kenya. She also had the opportunity to bring a message and encourage the congregation.

We are incredibly grateful for churches like Badgingarra Family Worship Church whose faithful prayers, generosity and partnership help make this work possible. Together, we are bringing hope, sharing God’s love and helping transform lives across Kenya. ❤️

Thank you for standing with us on this journey.

📸 Behind every mission is a team of faithful people serving in different ways.

Meet two of our amazing volunteers, Shreyas (Sam), who looks after our IT needs, and Marijke, who leads our dedicated prayer team. While their roles are very different, both play a vital part in helping Access Hope continue its work in Kenya and beyond.

From keeping our technology running smoothly to faithfully covering the ministry, our children, staff, sponsors and supporters in prayer, their commitment makes a real difference. We are so grateful for the many volunteers who generously give their time, skills and hearts to see lives transformed. ❤️

Want to be part of the Access Hope family? We’d love to hear from you.

📸 Strong women, lasting impact.

Linda enjoyed catching up with Margie and Edna, the inspiring women who founded Kingdomsons in Kenya, located not far from our children’s home in Kitale. Their years of faithful service, leadership, and commitment to transforming lives have made a lasting difference in their community.

It’s always encouraging to connect with women who have dedicated themselves to God’s work and to seeing hope, opportunity, and dignity restored to others. Together, organisations like Kingdomsons and Access Hope are part of a bigger story of communities being strengthened and lives being changed across Kenya. ❤️🇰🇪

A little behind-the-scenes look 👀✨

Linda, our CEO, working from the office she currently shares with James, our Home Director 🤍 Right now, this space is actually a future bedroom in the boys’ dormitory!

As Access Hope continues to grow, we’re believing God for an administration block in the future 🙏🏽🏡 Every step forward is because of His provision and the incredible support of our community.

Thank you for being part of the journey with us 💛

More progress at Hope Village House ✨

The stairs are now going in, leading up to the alfresco area where future teams and volunteers will be able to rest, connect, and unwind after busy days spent serving in ministry and with the children.

It’s so special watching this space slowly come to life — not just as accommodation, but as a place of community, encouragement, and shared moments. We can already picture teams sitting together here in the evenings, sharing meals, stories, prayer, and reflecting on all God is doing in Kenya 💛

Thank you to everyone continuing to support and journey with us as this project grows step by step.
