NERVE BOUTIQUE

People like Juliet, Annette, Cate and Judith can now have regular earnings from their work and in return, they can afford their basic domestic needs. Above all, they will gain respect, self esteem and considered useful people contributing to the development and welfare of their families and the community in general.

We sell gorgeous handmade crafts through our online store, providing market access to our talented friends living in the most rural parts of Uganda. Not only do our ‘Nervees’ earn their own money, the profits generated provide investment for our partner organisations and income for our large-scale development projects.

This is business, not charity.
