4-K CLUB PROJECTS introduction

A project gives the member certain responsibilities and feeling of pride in ownership. It stimulates interest in agricultural production and gives an opportunity to develop agricultural and life skills. A project gives them an opportunity to earn money, make decision on its use and learn the value of keeping records.

The choice of project depends on the area and the interest of the member. Examples include vegetable growing and processing, tree nursery, fruit growing and processing, livestock keeping, fish farming and handicrafts.

They should have the opportunity to show their projects along with their record books. It is important for the members to complete their project. Once completed, the record book should be sent to the patron and agricultural extension service provider for signature. However, the projects can be sustained so long as the members have resources.
