Lizzie Beach was volunteering at a children's home in Malawi when disaster struck
A student from the University of Manchester caught up in a deadly cyclone that hit parts of Africa has told of the destruction around her. Around 1,000 people are believed to have been killed and tens of thousands more left homeless after Cyclone Freddy hit Mozambique and Malawi last month.
Lizzie, who is studying International Disaster Management and Humanitarian Response at UoM, arrived in Malawi in September 2022 and lives on site at the children’s home. When disaster struck in Malawi, known as the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’, Lizzie told the Manchester Evening News she was desperate to help those affected.
Recent figures show that the cyclone has killed over 1,000 people, according to Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera.
