The family lives in Bangladesh. J is 34 years old and is a farmer. His wife S is 28 years old and they live with their 2 children and a grandmother in a 3-bedroom house. The family owns the house and have been living here for 16 years. They like the house because it’s where they grew up with family and it’s in a nice location and surrounding, but the downside is that there is no electricity. Their most favorite item is their motorbike, and the next big thing they plan on buying is a cow for their milk needs. Their dream is to be able to buy a nice house.

Their daughter, N, is 9 years old and the son, Z, is 7 years old. Both are students at the local school. J works 70 hours/week. The family lives in a three-bedroom house, and have been living here for 16 years. It is made of straw walls and a tin roof, and was built with help from their friends and family. It has no electricity and the toilet facility is within the premises of the house. The family also owns agricultural land over which the father does some agricultural activities for 8 hours every week. The family purchases 70% of their food supplies from the market, while the rest comes from their own produce. Food supplies cost 50% of their income. The drinking water source is on the premises of their house and is free of cost. In the kitchen, firewood and charcoal are used to light the stove.
