Don Roberto is married, is 35 years old and has three minor age children. He works as a mechanic in an auto repair shop. His work has allowed him to move his family ahead. His wife works as an operator in a tax-free zone. Both parents work all day. The salaries that they receive are small and sometimes do not cover the expenses of the home.


With much difficulty they have been building their house. They have not yet been able to finish it due to lack of funds. Currently the back wall is the priority because it is in bad shape and they fear that their home is not structurally sound. Their wishes are for better living conditions for their children.

Translated from Spanish by Laura Bobbit, Kiva volunteer.



Don Roberto es casado, tiene 35 años de edad, con tres hijos, todos menores de edad, se desempaña como mecánico en un taller automotriz, su trabajo le ha permitido sacar adelante a su familia, su esposa trabaja de operaria en una zona franca, ambos padres trabajan todo el día, los sueldos que perciben esta familia son pocos y en ocasiones no alcanzan a cubrir los gastos de su hogar.


Con mucha dificultad han ido levantando su humilde vivienda, todavía no han logrado terminarla debido a la falta de recursos monetarios, en estos momentos necesitan priorizar la pared de la parte de atrás de la vivienda la cual se encuentra en mal estado y temen por la seguridad habitacional en la que se encuentra su casa, ya que desean que sus hijos se encuentren en mejores condiciones de vida.
