Family Story:
Jose and Brenda have been married for 5 years. They have never had their own home. From the time they got married they have been moving from one place to another, sometimes living with his parents, sometimes living with hers. Finally Jose' grandfather donated them some land so that they did not have to keep struggling and they have lived on this land for the last months. Jose built a small room from wood and they moved there and have lived there for the last 2 months. 2 weeks ago someone broke into their home and stole their stove while they were out working. Jose works as a construction assistant but this is not a steady job. He works by contract and when one job finishes he has to wait to find another job, so there are some days where he has no work. Brenda works with her dad 4 days a week and sells hamocks. She earns 100 pesos per day because there are days they don't sell anything. For them it is difficult to build a home because their income is small.
