Thanks to help from the Nicaraguan government and the local municipal authority in Estelí, Superemos was able to help the family of Erika Cruz Montengro in the rural community of El Espinal improve their house. Erika is a young woman of 19 with disability whose mother doña Ninfa cares for her full time supported by her adolescent sons and other relatives who live nearby. The house is made of adobe covering a light timber framework. The onset of the rains this year put the integrity of the structure at risk since it is already quite deteriorated. With the new roof structure, Erika's family now has the chance of remaking the walls of the house in their own time as resources permit.
