Fatima Elizabeth Sanchez Velasquez

38 years old / Homeowner

Fátima sells traditional Salvadoran snacks (such as enchiladas and empanadas) outside her home. On Sundays, she also sells food at the local soccer field when there are matches. She will be living with her three children: Yessenia (20 years old), Fernando (14 years old) and Diego José (7 years old) 


Fátima has lived in this house for 18 years, ever since she separated from her former partner. As a single mother, she worries that her house could collapse on them. The house is made of adobe, metal sheets, and part of it is constructed with bahareque.
