In this conversation, we journey into the vibrant, messy, hopeful world of Uganda’s slums through the eyes of Twikirize Ronald. We talk about the intersection of chess and change, how culture is embedded in our identities without us even realizing it, and what it means to walk alongside communities with dignity. Ronald opens up about his founding of Galui Foundation, how he frames service with both heart and mind, and the systemic challenges he’s confronting daily.

You’ll hear stories that will stay with you: a child trekking miles, the contrast of dining tables vs. trench meals, the internal logic of poverty as identity, and the shift from pity to partnership in service. This is an invitation to feel, reflect, and act.
