  • A man makes square adobes using a "gradilla" or mould. First the gradilla is wetted and then the prepared mud is thrown and pushed into it. The gradilla is removed, and the adobe is left to dry in the sun.

  • in Las Flores, Jocotán, Guatemala, a Maya-Chortí farmer rests against an adobe wall. This part of the country is highly affected by climate change. Rainfall patterns in the last seven years have been unreliable, with too little or too irregular rainfall to get harvest of corn and beans. Many farmers have lost the seeds they plant. As the drought seems unending, the farmers diversify their income searching for employment as day labourers, travelling often for months at a time.

  • Jesus, Survivor of Domestic Violence<br />
<br />
María de Jesús Gabarette, Tierra Colorada, Lempira<br />
<br />
<br />
"My husband died. He hanged himself, here in the house, with a rope. He was a drunk. When he used to get drunk I’d be afraid. He’d be really drunk sometimes and he’d shout at me, telling me off for going to church. Sometimes I’d just leave the house and sleep somewhere else, or I’d sleep with a knife under my pillow. Everyone used to tell me to leave him. Since he’s died, it’s helped me going to the church. My children helped me build this little adobe house.<br />
<br />
He’s been dead seven years now. Lots of women get killed by drunk and violent husbands.<br />
<br />
I’m afraid my kids will waste their lives drinking.<br />
<br />
I make a living by going to Lepaera to buy vegetables and chickens, and I bring them back here to sell. And I’m training to be a midwife. I had my first baby at 24, here in the house, attended by a midwife."
