Our model
We like to do things differently…
The Nerve Model was built drawing on Founder Esther Kwaku's vast experience of working with International, as well as local charities and local organisations.
Using her insight and understanding, we work to build an unconventional development model to help elevate brilliant people so that powerful change can take place.
Building on solid frameworks
The Nerve Network works in tandem with several committed partner organisations in remote and low income communities.
We choose these partners based on on history and trust; working only with those we have solid, reliable connections, and with whom we share solid values.
Our business drives revenue by delivering fantastic, creative events across the corporate, public and private sector. We then use our profits to serve local communities.
HOW DO WE DECIDE WHO TO HELP?
* BRILLIANT THINKING
We work with people who want to bring an idea to life - an initiative, innovation or a creative project.
* THE MULTIPLIER EFFECT?
We support them to ascertain how this idea or business has the potential to grow and benefit their wider community.
* PAY IT FORWARD.
We work with them on sustainability including training more people in their community through skills development, business building, mentoring and support.
* TRANSFORMATION.
We work in a way that requires them to be fully independent and standing in their own power, so that Nerve eventually steps out of the picture.
* NERVE.
Last but not least. The definition of Nerve is one’s steadiness in a demanding situation. Nerve believes in working with passionate folks who have the fearlessness, courage and audacity to do more and be more, with the idea that despite everything seemingly going against them they will go on to inspire others.
