Why are Medicines included as revenue?
Our mandate is to reduce the impact of poverty on children and, along with the other community development support we provide, medicines are vital in making that happen. High-quality medicines are either not available or cost prohibitive in the countries to which we send them. Generally Accepted Accounting Practices for Canadian charities require us to value these medicines and include them in the calculation of our total revenue because they are an integral part of the programs and services we provide to children and their communities.
