Rosa del Carmen Ramos
58 years old / homeowner
Rosa wakes up at 1 a.m. to get ready for work. She sells vegetables at the central market in the capital. By 9 a.m., she returns home to rest for a moment before taking care of the household chores.
Sebastian Cortez Rosales
65 years old / farmer / Rosa's husband
Whenever he gets the chance, Sebastian finds work as a construction helper and also works in the cornfields.
The house where they currently live is in very poor condition, with rusted tin sheets and wooden planks barely holding up the roof.
