When civil war broke out in North Uganda, Kizito only narrowly escaped. Many years later, he returned and attended Makarere University in Kampala and graduated with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Art History. Kizito won a scholarship to Burren College of Art in Ireland and in 2006 opened a school for higher education in the Art called the Naganda International Academy of Art and Design (NIAAD). NIAAD set up a project called Muse Uganda that educates disadvantaged youth in Uganda. He is also the Chair of the Department of Fine Art at Makerere University.
