A 49-year-old low-income family man earns a monthly salary of 520 Omani rials. He is burdened by a personal loan exceeding 23,000 rials, incurred years ago to purchase an old house. 270 rials are deducted from his salary each month. He supports a family of seven who live in a rented house.
The average per capita income in the family is only 22 rials, an amount insufficient to cover basic living expenses. The committee intends to build a house for the family with an area of 156 square meters, estimated to cost 25,000 rials.
