The family lives in Haiti. M is 29 years old, is unemployed, and has two small children, J and O. The family built their one-room house four years ago. It has no electricity and they don't like its roof. The outdoor toilet is shared by over 100 other households. Local drinking water is not safe, and must be purchased and retrieved from a location about three minutes away by walking. M spends about an hour per week on water collection. All of the family’s food is purchased, and is cooked by a charcoal-burning stove. Water and food require about 90% of the family’s income. M’s plan is to spend money on replacing the roof of her house, and she dreams of owning a better house someday.
