He went on to graduate from the prestigious Fletcher school of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, and he started Global Soap in 2008.

The Global Soap Project earned an endorsement from the American Hotel and Lodging Association in 2013. Kayongo was among CNN’s Top Ten Heroes of the Year in 2011. Kayongo’s Global Soap Project has been designated for a Day of Recognition by the city of Atlanta on May 5th of each year as Global Soap Project Day.
