Twesigye Jackson Kaguri was born and raised in Uganda in the small village of Nyakagyezi.

At a very young age he demonstrated an unquenchable desire to learn, which led him to study at—and later graduate from—Makerere University in Kampala.

During this time he co-founded the human rights organization, Human Rights Concerns, to help victims of human rights violations in Uganda and to educate the public about their rights.

In the 90s he became a visiting scholar at Columbia University where he studied Human Rights Advocacy.

Over the years he has been involved extensively in international community efforts as a human rights advocate, fundraiser, and inspirational speaker.
