Welcome to The Nerve Network

The Nerve Network is about business, not charity.

There is no ‘us’ the “developed” and ‘them’ the “underdeveloped”.

The people we work with are not victims, helpless or to be pitied.

They are brilliant, practical and imaginative people who have the desire to make a change in their lives and communities.

They just need the resources.

Why it matters

Nerve is constantly seeking out better and smarter solutions, together with communities who already show the seeds of brilliant thinking.

“What do you need?”

“How can I help?

“Have you considered...?”

These are the questions we ask to inspire change.

Through our conversations with businesses and individuals, they acknowledge their limitations due to a lack of time, skills or money, and we simply ask the right questions to collaboratively come up with an active solution, with long-term benefits.

Specifically with Nerve’s Uganda-based Partner Organisations, we work with them, not instead of or on top of, because we recognise that they understand the innate workings of their own communities, capabilities and the challenges.

It’s the putting together of it all that Nerve wants to focus on. We've all got brilliance we can add to the fold. It’s about having the space and time to think differently and test those new ideas that we really want to try.

We focus on helping our partners arrange themselves better so they can use their limited resources and people more effectively to free up those superchargers to do the really really juicy stuff.

With this support, they are helping to build strong local businesses that are creating real, lasting change. Most importantly, the model guarantees that everybody involved is self-sufficient and earning their own money.  No ‘charity’ is involved.
