La familia vive en Ruanda. M tiene 51 años y es negociante de ganado. Su esposa, U, tiene 47 años y es agricultora. Viven con sus 5 hijos en una casa de 5 habitaciones y han vivido ahí por 10 años. Lo siguiente que planean comprar es un terreno de cultivo, y su sueño es algún día comprar un auto.

The family lives in Rwanda. M is 51 years old and is a cattle trader. His wife U is 47 years old and she is a farmer. They live with their 4 sons N, 21 years old, who is a farmer, Y, 16 years old, D, 12 years old, and R, 10 years old, who are all students, and with their daughter G , 20 years old, who is also a farmer. Together, the couple works for a total of 60 hours/week. The family lives in a 5-room house, which they own and got built with the help of relatives and friends. They’ve been living there for the past 10 years. The house has reliable electricity, drinking water, and a toilet on their own plot. They also own agricultural land. The family only has to buy 40% of their food, which cost them about 30% of their income, and the rest 60% comes from their own produce. They use charcoal and wood for cooking. The family spends about 3 ½ hours a week collecting wood and Musabyimana also spends an extra 6 hours a week doing an unpaid job. The family is saving money. They’ve never been on vacation and the furthest they have ever been was Kigali, Rwanda. The next big thing they plan to buy is more agricultural land. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a car.
