La famille réside à Bangladesh. M a 35 ans et travaille comme chauffeur de rickshaw. Sa femme S a 25 ans et travaille dans une fabrique de vêtements. Ils sont parents de 2 enfants et habitent dans une maison d’une chambre. Ils aiment cette maison à cause du loyer raisonnable mais sont inquiets par l’infestation des moustiques. Leur objet préféré est la télévision. Le prochain achat qu’ils prévoient de faire est un nouveau rickshaw et leur rêve est d'acheter, un jour, une nouvelle maison.

The family lives in Bangladesh. M is 35 years old and works as a rickshaw driver; his wife, S, is 25 years old and works in a garment factory. They have a 12-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son. Together, they work 170 hours per week. The family moved into their current home about a year ago in search of cheap rent. Although the home is plagued with mosquitoes, they are pleased to afford its rent. The electricity connection is unreliable and fails twice a week. They cook their food with propane and purchase all their food supplies by spending 70% of their income. Drinking water is available away from the home. Collecting the water is a chore that takes about 2 minutes to complete, but the water is not always clean. Toilet facilities are also located away from the home and are shared by 21 families. M has never been on vacation, and his favorite possession is the television. He would like to purchase a new rickshaw, and dreams of one day purchasing a new home.
