Maria Francisca Ortiz
59 years old / Homeowner
Maria spends her days taking care of her house and her family; she usually goes out to cuts wood, and does the laundry at other people’s houses but that is not something that she does very often. Maria will live with two sons in the new house but only one of them was at home.
Ricardo Alexander Ortiz Reyes
15 years old / Maria’s son
He is not in school at the moment, but he spends his time at home helping his mom to do household chores.
They have been living in the same place for seven years. The house is owned by Maria’s late brother, but they had to find another location to build the new house. Their current home is made of mud and bamboo sticks, with a roof constructed from metal sheets.
