Livelihoods

How the Reli People Sustain Themselves

Farming

Cassava, maize, sorghum, millet, and peas grown communally across Itula Sub-County.

Herding

Cattle, goats, and sheep - the reason Itula is known today as cattle-keeping country.

Fishing

The Waka-lo-Gimero wetlands are opened for fishing only when Gimero clan elders declare the season.

Cooperatives

SACCOs and a cultural development fund are being built to support Reli livelihoods and youth enterprise.

Land & Natural Resources

Land in Itula Sub-County remains central to Reli livelihoods and identity - farmed communally, grazed by livestock, and home to the sacred sites the Assembly has committed to protecting. Stewardship of this land sits at the heart of the kingdom's development priorities.
