Honoring the Legacy Kwame Botchway
April 27, 1991 - August 17, 2024
Our hearts are heavy with the loss of Kwame Botchway, a visionary leader and tireless advocate for economic empowerment within the African diaspora. Kwame was more than a Co-Founder of Afro-PACT; he was the driving force behind our collectibe mission to mobilize and uplift communities across the globe. His passion, dedication, and friendships touched the lives of many, and his absence is deeply felt.
As we continue the work he began, Afro-PACT remains steadfast in upholding Kwame's vision. His legacy lives on in our commitment to creating lasting change, fostering economic opportunities, and advancing the collective strength of the African diaspora. We will carry his spirit forward, ensuring that his dreams for a united and empowered community will flourish for generations to come.
His Legacy Lives.
