La famille habite à Cambodge. S a 38 ans et travaille comme ramasseur de déchets recyclables. Elle habite avec ses 3 enfants dans une maison d’une pièce qu’elle loue depuis 2 ans. Leur prochaine grosse dépense va concerner l’achat de nourriture. Le rêve de S est d’économiser assez d’argent pour se permettre de payer les études universitaires à ses enfants.

The family lives in Cambodia. S is 38 years old and works as a scavenger, collecting recycling goods. She lives with her sons K, 7 years old, O, 6 years old, and N, 5 years old. She works for 105 hours/week. The family rents a single-room home. They've been living there for the past 2 years. The house has no electricity but it has a toilet. About 50% of the family income is spent on buying food. In addition to her main job, S spends 21 hours a week on housework and one hour collecting water, which is 20 minutes away. She uses LPG fuel for cooking. The family saves very little money. They’ve never been on a vacation. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfil their dream of a university education for their children.
