Maria Imelda Ortiz de Cortez

35 years old / Homeowner

Maria works as a cook at a place near the beach. She goes to work every day of the week. In the new house, she will live with her 15-year-old daughter, Rubidia, who was not at home at the time of the interview.


Maria has been living in the same house for a year and a half, built with her brother's help from mud and bamboo sticks. Last December, the roof of her house collapsed due to strong winds so she needs a better place to live.
