Maria Francisca Ortiz

59 years old / Homeowner

Maria spends her days taking care of the house and her family, she usually cuts wood, 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.

Ricardo Alexander Ortiz Reyes

15 years old / Maria’s son

He spends his time at home with his mom.

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.
