Rosa Amelia Cortez 

30 years old / homeowner

She goes out to do ironing or laundry outside her community. Two more people will be living with her: she has a baby who needs her care, and her daughter Verónica, who is 14 years old (but she was not at home at the time of the interview).

Valeria Jazmin Cortez

1 year old / Rosa’s daughter



She is a single mother, and she feels very excited to finally have a place where she can give her daughters a decent home. Her house is made of metal sheets and wood, and she told us that she built it with the help of her brother.
