Income generating activities

Welcome to Chapter Nine. In Chapter Eight, you learned about
resources belonging to the family and school. You learned
different ways of taking care of family and school resources.

In this chapter, you will learn about activities used to generate
income for the family. You will also learn about activities each
member of the family can do to generate income.

Identifying income generating activities in the family
We need food, clothing and shelter to survive. These are the basic
needs for every human being. We can get them by working hard.
Income generating activities include fishing, farming, trading,

mining, bee-keeping, poultry keeping and livestock keeping.

We get food and money by participating in these activities.
For example, when we cultivate land and grow crops, we get

food. We also sell part of the crops to get money. We use
the money we get to buy clothes. We also use the money for
building houses.

Each family has its own daily needs. To meet these needs, many
families take part in income generating activities.

Think

Have you ever seen people participating in income

generating activities? What were they doing?
