The family lives in Burundi. M is 41 years old and she works as a farm labourer on land she owns. She has 4 children: The 3 sons, P, 13 years old, E, 7 years old and L, 4 years old, live with her. While, the daughter C, 9 years old, live with an uncle far away. M works for 60 hours a week. The family lives in a 2-room house, which they built and own, along with some land. They have been living here for 5 years. The house has no electricity and no water. It takes them 40 minutes to collect water from a piped water source that leads mountain water into the valley. They have their own toilet outside the house. The family spends 80% of their budget on food. They cook with wood, so Imelda spends 14 hours a week collecting firewood. The family has no money to save and are not planning to buy anything, but hope one day to be able to fulfil their dream of buying a better house. Their most favorite items are their cattle and clothes.
