The family lives in Kenya. C is 26 years old and she runs a small water supply business. Her husband S is 38 years old and he is a carpenter. They live along with their 3 sons in a 2-bedroom house. They own the house and have been living here for 12 years. The best thing they like about their house is its location, which provides convenient access to work and is also where they grew up. However, they dislike the noise and pollution in the area. Their favorite item in the house is their cooker and they are planning on buying some new cooking hot pots for it. Their dream is to buy a large television.
