Henry Pomeroy

Henry joined CHASE Africa in 2013 to become the charity’s first full-time Director, following a long and varied career in international development. Henry completed an MSc in Tropical Agricultural Development at Reading University before spending two years in Ghana with Tear Fund, followed by nine years with Action on Disability in Development, and then seven years as Programme Coordinator and Country Director for Rwanda at Send a Cow, developing and managing development programmes focused on poverty alleviation through training in sustainable agriculture and livelihoods. In the 9 years at the helm of CHASE Africa, the charity grew year on year, increasing its income from £50,000 to over £650,000, and enabling over 400,000 family planning services to be delivered to women in poor and marginalised communities. He identified most of the current partners and started up several new programmes bringing health and family planning services to remote, rural communities. Henry retired as Director of CHASE Africa in June 2022.
