who we work with
We work with a diverse mix of exceptionally talented people and organisations to achieve Nerve’s mission.
We collaborate with those who we have history and trust; who we have solid, reliable connections with and who believe in Nerve’s vision.
Ugandan-based partner organisations
We work with fantastic local organisations that are the eyes and ears of Nerve. They know best what the situation is like for the people they serve. They are the ones working tirelessly, reaching out, traveling for hours deep into villages, visiting, listening, coaching, counseling, supporting and digging into their pockets to give whatever they can.
Working closely with these organisations, we help increase their outreach and elevate their impact by assessing their greatest needs and providing the necessary support and capital. Working on a case-by-case basis, we advise on ‘out-of-the-box’ solutions where even their most marginalised or vulnerable members can be connected, supercharged and encouraged to go beyond what they believe their potential is.
We don’t control what they do - that’s not our style - but we do work side-by-side to understand how we can refine and strengthen the things that work well… the strategic model that works best.
Simply put, we couldn’t do this without them. And why should we?

The association of persons with disabilities living with HIV and AIDS
(ADPHA) is a disability rights fund, working to help people with disabilities (PWDs) who are living with HIV/AIDS access medicine and support. Their aim is to ensure that all PWDs living with HIV/AIDS can achieve full integration in all activities of society and be included in the mainstream livelihood care and support in the wider Masaka region.
As the only organisation founded and led by PWDs living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda, ADPHA plays a critical role in raising awareness and providing education, advocacy, training, and livelihood and community support. Once a small, district-based community organisation, they now have over 400 members and can reach communities in 6 districts!
International CLIENTS
As an agency, we work with brilliant companies looking for ways to make a lasting impact within their organisations. By managing their events and marketing, we are able to inject some ‘Nerve’ into their communications to generate income to fund our development programmes.
WESTERN ACADEMY OF BEIJING (WAB)
As a leading non-profit international school, WAB prides itself on innovative teachers, world-class facilities, a diverse community, warm and supportive environment and service-oriented culture. Their uniquely designed campus stands out among other international schools in Beijing, making it a landmark in the area. WAB is an IB World School, providing the highest quality international education in China and beyond.
Working with the Nerve Network, WAB is hosting a Festival of Learning called “The Future of Education Now”.
“We all know education is changing. There is no one-size fits all solution. We understand why increased student and teacher agency is vital. NOW is the time to share the work you’ve been doing to improve school.
Educators around the world are embracing this opportunity to reimagine, redesign, and re-engineer school. These are interesting times because the future of education is emerging NOW and as we prime young people for a lifetime of curiosity.”
This conference is the first of its kind, and Nerve are working closely with the WAB team to develop a high-standard event; managing the event design, logistics, registration platform, AV, speaker management and many other elements.
The second iteration of this event is happening in 2025.
