TypeError object is not iterable

You can't iter over a model instance. I recommend you use your commented code.

If you still want to use a forloop, maybe you can add this code:

class Householdmember(models.Model):
    # all yuur fields...

    def __iter__(self):
        return return [field.value_to_string(self) for field in Householdmember._meta.fields]

But, no one recommend that

That's better:

class Householdmember(models.Model):
    # all yuur fields...

    def __iter__(self):
        return [ self.first_name, 
                 self.middle_name, 
                 self.last_name, 
                 self.national_id, 
                 self.get_male_display, 
                 self.date_of_birth, 
                 self.get_rel_to_head_display, 
                 self.get_disability_display ]
