CHOSEN CHILDREN - FULFILLING THE CALL INC.

What CHOSEN CHILDREN - FULFILLING THE CALL INC. does

Chosen Children - Fulfilling the Call Inc. is a Canadian-registered Christian charity (CRA BN: 78052 4310 RR0001) founded in 2012 by Renuka and Joseph Jeyanayagam, headquartered in Unionville, Ontario, with all operational delivery concentrated at a single Grace Center hub in Chimoio, Mozambique. The organization serves orphans, vulnerable children, widows, and female-headed households in a region where 70% of the population lives below $2/day and Mozambique ranks third globally for children with HIV/AIDS. Its programmatic portfolio spans Grace Christian School (a private school opened February 2024 for preschool through Grade 1+), a feeding program serving ~80 children daily with life-threatening diseases, adult literacy classes, income generation and skills training, medical aid, permanent-brick shelter construction, borehole-well clean water access (two wells to date), and disaster relief including post-Cyclone Idai rebuilding and COVID-19 food/hygiene distributions.

The business model is donation-and-sponsorship funded rather than commercial: revenue comes from individual donors in Canada and the United States, channeled through CanadaHelps, e-transfers, mailed checks, and a US fundraising partnership with Caring for Orphans - Mozambique (CFO-MOZ, a 501(c)(3) in Temecula, California). Recurring revenue is structured via tiered monthly sponsorships ranging from $25 CAD/month (school sponsorship) to $200 CAD/month (school supplies), supplemented by one-time gifts and volunteer mission-trip fees. The World Changer program institutionalizes monthly giving, and Stories of Hope content marketing on the chosen-children.org website functions as the primary donor-acquisition channel. There is no proprietary technology platform; all programs are delivered through direct human service by a small team (1-10 staff) and partner national pastors in Mozambique.

Operationally, the organization distinguishes itself from peer foreign-run aid groups by an empowerment model that trains and resources local pastors and community leaders rather than displacing them with expat staff, and by an explicitly inclusive faith stance serving children and families of all faiths and ethnicities. Beneficiary outcomes reported in source material include a 95% homework completion rate during COVID-19 literacy programming, students ahead in cursive Portuguese and numeracy at the new school, and a portfolio of named beneficiary success stories (shelter construction, scholarship to farm-management studies, post-cyclone home rebuilding with income-generation business startup).
