At the age of 85 and visually impaired, Fynes Semu is among the survivors of Cyclone Ana who have resettled in the new Matsukambiya Village, situated in Chikwawa district.
Living in the flood-prone district of Chikwawa, Fynes has experienced numerous disasters attributed to climate change. However, she regards the catastrophic Tropical Storm Ana as one of the most severe disasters she has ever witnessed in her lifetime. The rainstorm, which affected over 900,000 people in Southern Malawi, demolished Fynes's house located in Matsukambiya Village, under Traditional Authority Ngabu in the district.
