The family lives in South Africa. R is 43 years old and works as a grass cutter. His wife B is 36 years old. They live with their 3 daughters W, 14 years old, N, 7 years old, and S, 2 years old. R works for a total of 30 hours/week. The family lives in a one-bedroom house, which they own. They’ve been living there for the past 9 years. The house has no electricity and the toilet is outside the house and is shared with 100 other households. The family buys all their food supplies, which cost them about 90% of their income. Water is available 5 mins away from the house and Beauty spends 2 ½ hours a week collecting it. They use paraffin for cooking in the kitchen. The V family has managed to save some money and plans to buy a new roof. They sometimes go on vacation and the furthest they have ever been was Alexandra, South Africa. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a new house.
