Hi! My name is Louisa, and I am the founder and president of Free Period Project. I am a student at the University of Missouri. I enjoy running, reading, and photography. I started Free Period Project at 16 because I was angry at the way the world views menstruation. The prices of pads and tampons continue to skyrocket, with no concern for those experiencing period poverty. My main goal in creating this was to help reduce the stress of not being able to afford products by providing people with menstrual hygiene items directly in their school bathrooms!
