The family lives in Somalia. M is a street beggar. While she indicates that 9 people sleep in the home in a regular night, she doesn’t give any detail about her family. She doesn’t list any income. The family lives in a 1-room house, which they own and got built with the help of relatives and friends. They’ve been living there for the past 11 years. The house has no electricity and the toilet is outside on their own plot and not shared with other households. The family has to buy 10% of their food, which costs them about 90% of their income. The remaining 90% is given to them by neighbors and other people on the street. They use wood for cooking in the kitchen. Every week, M spends 4 hours collecting water and 8 hours collecting wood. The Idle family hardly saves any money because most of it is spent on food. They’ve never been on vacation and the furthest M has ever been was Jigjiga, Ethiopia. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a house.
