Financial health

Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (3)
- Irrigation: TW-DWU pays for the Water Permit fees for each of the three major farm plots to have access to water for irrigation of their crops. Each year TW-DWU cleans out the inlet boxes due to debris and sediment build up that clog the inlets to the irrigation diversion dams. TW-DWU then facilitates a water schedule between the farmers to have equal access to the irrigation water. We provide irrigation pipes and irrigation bonnets/vales to farmers who request them as well as help with set-up, dismantling, education of proper care and usage of all irrigation equipment.
- Farming: TW-DWU provided complimentary seeds to active farmers to continue to keep their farm plots in production. We provided equipment services to those who expressed a need. Farmers continue utilizing the community greenhouse at Dine College where they grow fresh produce and sell at local farmer markets or for self-consumption.
- Fencing: The work on fencing has been completed. We will continue to monitor for needed fixes and such until more funding is created to re-start the fencing program.
