Meet Boyce
Boyce Nyirenda
Meet Boyce. He knows what it’s like to lose family members to dirty water. That’s why he now works for WaterAid. As our Rural Programme Manager for Malawi, Boyce is doing everything he can to bring water to communities like the one he grew up in.
Boyce is a popular local figure. Not only does he work with WaterAid, but he’s also a preacher and church elder. He’s determined to help people change their lives.
Help Boyce bring safe, clean water to Bokola and Kaniche.
Ever since Boyce was a child, he’s seen dirty water claim the lives of the people he’s loved. Most recently, one of his children was very sick from diarrhoea. Boyce knows it’s part of daily life in Malawi but he’s determined to change it.
“They took us one day to one of the scoop holes where they draw water, and the water there looks completely brown. You can’t even wash your khaki shorts using this water… A cup of clean water has almost become a luxury in this community.”
Having a borehole could transform the lives of people in the area. It could mean people can focus on escaping poverty rather than just surviving day to day – and work towards a brighter, better future.
“Let me repeat this, your help and your support will help us transform the lives of men and women in this village. I thank you so much for your attention.”
Follow Boyce as he works with the community to make safe water and sanitation a reality this summer.

Every pound you donate before 18 September will be doubled by the UK Government – so we can give twice as much help. If you are a UK taxpayer you can also add Gift Aid to your donation at no cost to you. £10 + Government matching = £20. Plus Gift Aid = £22.50 = more lives transformed.
Every penny we raise through The Big Dig Appeal will help to transform lives forever in Malawi.
Hi Boyce
Your video really explains well why it’s so important that people have access to safe water and sanitation. Keep up the good work
All the best

Dear Boyce… I enjoyed watching your video and reading about all the wonderful work you have been doing for the communities in Malawi. You are a true inspiration! I will continue to support Water Aid and to encourage my friends and family also to donate. I hope one day you will all have access to the clean, safe water that you need. Well done for all the hard work you do – my heart and best wishes are with you! X
Dear Boyce,
I’m lucky to have been to Malawi and see the effect that your work is doing to help people to take the first steps to better health and out of poverty. Your skills and talents will be key to the effective implementation of the Big Dig, which is going to help to transform so many lives in Malawi.
Best wishes to everyone working for WaterAid Malawi.
