Ana Mercedes Vasquez Arias
44 years old/ housekeeper
Ana wakes up at 5 am to make breakfast for her husband and kids before taking care of her house. She lives with three of her children and looks after her chickens. During the rainy season, water often gets inside their home, making it difficult for them to sleep at night as they feel unsafe. She has more plans for the new house, intending to use materials from the old house to make it bigger and safer.
