Monthly income

The family lives in Nigeria. N is 50 years old and is a farmer. His wife B is 40 years old and she is also a farmer and a trader. They have 7 children and they live with them in a rented 3-room house. Their most favorite item is their clothes. The next big thing they plan on spending is repairs to the house. Their dream is to be able to build their own block wall house.

The family lives in Nigeria. N is 50 years old and is a farmer. His wife B is 40 years old and she is also a farmer and trader. They live with their 6 daughters C, 22 years old, O, 19 years old, E, 14 years old, G, 13 years old, H, 8 years old, and K, 5 years old, and with their only son L., 21 years old. The children are all students. The family lives in a rented 3-room house. They've been living there for the past 50 years. The house has no electricity, running water or toilet. The family also owns some agricultural land. The family has to buy 50% of their food supplies and produce the remaining 50% themselves. They use wood for cooking in the kitchen. The children spend 3½ hours a week collecting water, which takes 10 minutes to collect and come back. They also spend 21 hours a week collecting wood. The family hardly saves any money because most of the income is spent on food and rent. They’ve never been on vacation and the furthest they have ever been was Makurdi, Nigeria. The next big thing they plan to spend money on is repairs to their house. They hope that one day they will fulfill their dream of building a block wall house.
