A 46-year-old family man with a limited income earns a monthly salary of 563 Omani Riyals. He has a bank loan of 13,000 Riyals, which he used several years ago to build a house using flimsy materials.
The house suffers from water leaks and structural problems, in addition to being too small for his family of eight. Their net per capita income is only 44 Riyals. The committee intends to build the family a new house with an area of 156 square meters, at an estimated cost of 25,000 Riyals.
