Jose Roberto Mejia

59 years old / farmer 

José wakes up early every morning to bring water to his home because he doesn’t have running water. He’s a farmer who works to support his family, growing corn and beans for both their own consumption and to sell during times when work is scarce. The land he farms is rented.

Jesli Aidee Mejía

5 years old / José's granddaughter 

Jesli loves playing with her grandfather.


The house he built 35 years ago is now in poor condition. He needs a new home where he can feel safe with his granddaughter.
