Launched in 2025, Rejoice Project's BUILD Campaign is establishing a permanent Empowerment Center in Kenya to equip local church pastors and leaders with the tools to effectively serve their communities. Believing that lasting change begins with the local church, Rejoice Project collaborated with these leaders to shape the Center’s vision and design.

The 2026 LOVE GALA will benefit construction of one of the primary structures of BUILD Phase 2: the Training & Retreat Center at the Empowerment Center. This center will serve as a community gathering space welcomes pastors, church leaders, teachers, community leaders, and parents with safety and intentionality. Retreats and pastor trainings hosted here will provide a unique opportunity for rest, refueling, and empowerment as guests step away from the challenges of life and receive equipping and encouragement. The multi-purpose space will also host Rejoice Camps that help children grow in purpose, dignity, and hope through mentorship and faith-based learning. With resource libraries, classroom space, a community kitchen, and guest rooms, the Training & Retreat Center will equip community members with essential training and resources empowering them to ignite change-- fostering collaboration and revitalization to impact future generations.
