The family lives in Tunisia. M is 52 years old and is a gardener. His wife J is 44 years old and she runs a home based bakery. They live with their 2 daughters L, 24 years old, R, 22 years old, and their 2 sons H, 21 years old, and O, 18 years old. Together, the couple works for a total of 87 hours/week. The family lives in a 2-bedroom house that is free of rent and they have been living here for the past 30 years. The house has reliable electricity, running water, and the toilet is outside in their yard and not shared with other households. The family has to buy all their food supplies, which cost them about 80% their income. They use natural gas for cooking in the kitchen. Safe drinking water is available inside the house. The family hardly saves any money since most of it is spent on buying food supplies. The next big thing they plan to buy is a new stove burner. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a house for their children.
