I had the absolute honour and privilege to work with Louisa to lead workshops. As someone so young at the time and so early in my journey into the WASH sector, I knew I was being taught by the best there could be. There was always fun to be had when teaching and training others about taboo issues from menstrual hygiene, disability, and not to say the least from my perspective, the perimenopause. Behind all of this however was Louisa’s immense passion to reduce inequalities throughout WASH, which never faded. Knowing Louisa personally throughout my time in the WASH sector and having the opportunity to see her transform so much is what shapes my work . We remained in touch until this day. I am saddened we were unable to have that virtual coffee we had planned just a couple of weeks before she left us. Louisa will forever be present in all I do in my professional life ahead. I will miss her greatly. May she rest in peace.
