The family lives in Nigeria. C is 88 years old and he is the head of his 12 member family. The family owns and lives in a 4-room house which has been their residence for 60 years. Their favorite item in the house is clothes. The next big thing they plan on spending is to replace their house mud walls. Their dream is to be able to build a new house.

The family lives in Nigeria. C is 88 years old and his brother J is 70 years old and both are too old to work. They live with C’s son O, 64 years old, who is a retired officer, his wife N, 50 years old, who sells food at the market and their 4 sons and 4 daughters. Together, the family works for a total of 200 hours/week. The family lives in a 4-room house, which they own and got built with the help of friends and relatives. They've been living there for the past 60 years. The house has no electricity, running water or toilet. The family buys 70% of their food and produces the remaining 30% themselves. They use wood and kerosene for cooking in the kitchen. The children spend 7 hours a week collecting water, which takes 15 minutes to collect and come back. The family hardly saves any money because most of it is spent on food. They’ve never been on vacation. The next thing they plan to spend money on is replacing their house mud walls. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of building a house.
