The family lives in India. S is 47 years old and he works as a driver. His wife R is 35 years old and she is a nurse. Their eldest daughter M, 20 years old, is a trainee beautician, whereas the younger daughter P, aged 18, and son K, aged 16, are students. The family lives in a rented one-bedroom house. They have been living there for the past 6 years. The house has electricity, which fails more than three times a week and sometimes lasting for two days. It has an indoor toilet. They like that the air feels cleaner in their home because they live on the third floor. The downside is that the colony has dirty streets. They also own another dwelling in Butwal, Nepal, which is located near the India-Nepal border. The family has to buy all their food supplies, which cost them about 50% of their income. They use liquefied petroleum gas for cooking in the kitchen. Drinking water is available at their home but is sometimes not safe to drink because it comes muddy. The family saves money and sometimes goes on vacation. The furthest S has ever been was Malaysia, when he worked in a factory there. His favorite item in the house is a baby doll that he bought when his first child was born. They are planning to buy a motorcycle and their dream is to one day build a home of their own.
