The Nerve Network

Here's lovely Julie, one of the #FIAConf2020 lanyard makers. Did we mention she sews with one arm? Yeah! Like that could ever stop her! Determined to see her business grow, she's putting her income towards renting a bigger workshop & new equipment. Boom. youtu.be/56cwaWkLEAY

#storytelling Enjoyed hearing @esterkwaku @NerveNetwork on reframing how we see the people we are speaking on behalf of. How narrative moves on and evolves - & how it’s important to get to the core of what’s going on in the story. #IoFFC

When we say we working remote place, we really mean remote! @EstherKwaku describes her road trip to see one of our makers, Rose. You can read all about it here: wegotnerve.com/makers #socialenterprise #changemakers #impact #stories #womeninbiz

Don't be misguided. Her legs might not work in the conventional way but Rose has a ball of core strength. Rose is one of our creatives. She has a bundle of baskets...and an even bigger bundle of Nerve 💥 Read her story in our Maker series wegotnerve.com/makers

@sstewartling @iborganization @edu_wyten @mercyikua @ECISMLIE We absolutely love to see this! Long live the magic. Our maker, Cate, will be very happy to see this. Thank you!!

How local entrepreneurs ask for help: Faridah passed this note to me during a meeting. Ready to talk business, she even came prepared with a budget...for a print & copy shop she wants to set up in her village. What does she need? Basic things we can lay our hands on so easily!

What an incredible start to this trip - 6 hours at a brilliant event with our partners @madiphamasaka who brought together community people with disabilities to raise awareness. Nerve got a special commendation for our work!

Happening now: The Residents District commissioner ( RDC) of Masaka making the openings remarks in the Launch of the analysis report on inclusion of disability in the five Districts disability in the five Districts HIV and AIDS strategic plans.

We're back in Uganda. Landed this morning just in time to help with a big event for our local partners @madiphamasaka - hundreds of people with #disabilities have come together today. What a beautiful, atmospheric morning. Look out for the lightning.
