José Vicente Marroquín Alfaro

35 years old / Day laborer / Ana’s husband

He works planting basic grains on an on-call basis, working only when day labor is available.


Built over 14 years ago, it is situated in a community the family has called home their entire lives. Ana’s partner has been patching the exterior walls due to rain erosion. The house has adobe and corrugated metal walls, a dirt floor, and a clay-tile roof supported by timber poles/cane. The structure is severely weathered, allowing rain to seep inside and flood the interior.
