Yolanda's Family

Yolanda with her husband and 7 kids, live in the ‘barrio 24 de Mayo’, a very poor community in the outskirts of Guayaquil city.  Yolanda’s husband lost his job in a warehouse because of a health condition.  He was becoming blind.  In addition to her 7 kids, her sister in-law, who is disabled and uses a wheelchair to move, lives with them.  They had no rooms, just one big muddy area where everybody slept, cooked and ate and a small outhouse with a latrine.
