The family lives in Zimbabve. T is 28 years old and is a small scale farmer. His wife E is 31 years old and she is also a small scale farmer. They live with their 1-year-old son in a 1-bedroom house and have been living here for about 5 years. The next big things they plan on buying are farming seeds and fertilizer. Their dream is to buy a house and cattle for themselves.

The family lives in Zimbabve. T is 28 years old and is a small scale farmer. His wife E is 31 years old and she is also a small scale farmer. They live with their son S, who is 1 year old. Together, the couple works for a total of 80 hours/week. The family lives in a single-bedroom house which they own. It was built with the help of family and friends. They've been living here for the past 5 years. The house has no electricity, running water, or toilet. They also own agricultural land. The family has to buy all their food supplies, which cost them about 40% of their income. They use wood for cooking in the kitchen. Safe drinking water is available from a source nearby and every week, E spends an hour collecting water and 3 hours collecting firewood. The family hardly saves any money but sometimes goes on vacation. The furthest they have ever been was Harare, Zimbabwe. The next big thing they plan to buy is farming seeds and fertilizer. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a house and some cattle.
