On December 10, 2022, the world lost one of the most dedicated, vibrant women working to strengthen U.S.-Africa relations and to advance human rights and economic development for the African people. Patricia Baine, known to her friends and family as Gudy, was only 45 years of age when she passed away.

Many individuals have expressed the desire to assist her family and show their love for Patricia and all she stood for. To this end, the Africa Society has established the Africa Society Patricia Baine Memorial Fund which would be a tangible way to show her family how highly regarded Patricia was among her many friends and colleagues and to express our gratitude for her achievements and tireless life of service.

The Africa Society Board of Directors will be hosting a memorial luncheon in January for family, friends, and the Africanist community. Date and venue will be announced soon.

Funeral services and burial will take place in Kampala, Uganda in January. Dates will be provided pending the finalizing of arrangements.

To signify Patricia's commitment to the Africa Society's flagship program, TEACH AFRICA that has educated thousands of students, and trained hundreds of teachers throughout the United States about the contributions of Africa and its citizenries, The Africa Society is renaming the program to the Patricia Baine TEACH AFRICA Program.

There have been requests regarding how best to contribute to the family of Patricia Baine by recognizing her life achievements. An Africa Society Patricia Baine Memorial Fund is being set up to receive donations and will be found on The Africa Society's website at https://africasummit.org/  and will also be shared through other mediums.
