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.
