Honoring Patricia Baine
President of The Africa Society of the
National Summit on Africa from
2016 to 2022

Patricia Baine Memorial Fund

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. Tax deductible financial contributions to this Fund will be used by her parents to defray funeral expenses in the United States and in Uganda where Patricia will be laid to her final resting place.

Patricia was a native of Uganda in East Africa. Like many Ugandans, she came to the United States to pursue her dreams, obtaining a degree in international relations from the University of Virginia in 2001. After assuming several positions, Patricia’s drive, energy, and ambition culminated in her being elected president of The Africa Society in 2016. Prior to working for The Africa Society, she was an intern for the late Congressman Donald M. Payne as part of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on Africa in the United States House of Representatives.

Patricia Baine touched the lives of all those who knew her, and was beloved by millions of people from Africa, the United States, and around the world. Her unwavering dedication to educating superintendents, teachers, and thousands of students about the continent of Africa in America through the TEACH AFRICA Program was one of her many significant achievements, and became her greatest passion.

Patricia Baine was a tireless worker and loyal friend. Her talent, intelligence, optimism, and courage won her respect from people of all ages, cultures, and walks-of-life -- from taxi drivers
to high-level diplomats.

Patricia was a woman of faith, a strong Christian who not only believed in the Word of God but lived her life accordingly. Patricia was beautiful, compassionate and had love for all people. Her
personal attributes and professional accomplishments will render her unforgettable in the eyes of those who had the good fortune of knowing her.

Patricia leaves behind her mother Ms. Juliet Barera of Sweden; her parents in Uganda Mr. Gregory and Jane Baine; six siblings: Brenda Kampire, Fiona Baine-Savanbu, Mark Baine, Linda Rubuga, Rachael Baine-Nkurunziza, Michelle Baine; aunts including Ambassador Edith Grace Ssempala; uncles; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends.

The Africa Society board shares with profound sadness the passing of our beloved president, Patricia Baine on December 10, 2022.

Born in Uganda, Ms. Baine served with distinction in several positions in The Africa Society over 20 years, and was named president in 2016.

Patricia helped steer our organization to its position as a leading Non-governmental organization advocating and educating about Africa in the United States. She was respected by partners working on Africa issues in Washington, DC, throughout the United States and on the African continent. The African, US and other members of the diplomatic corps as well as government and non-government organizations with whom she engaged, held her in high regard.

Her passing leaves an incalculable void. She impacted the US-Africa dialogue and heightened the advocacy for Africa among the Diaspora with passion, professionalism and pride, and worked tirelessly with an indefatigable spirit of optimism.

The Africa Society appreciates the outpouring of messages of sympathy. We grieve with her family, countless friends and colleagues, and extend our deepest condolences and profound sympathy and love to her family.

We will share separately a complete profile of Patricia's life and contributions to The Africa Society.

Details on final arrangements will be shared when provided by the family.
