Why Hunni and Chlo?
Kashti’s inspiration for Hunni & Chlo stems from a deeply personal experience. She recalls classmates who couldn’t afford sanitary pads—too embarrassed to ask for help or with no one to turn to, often resulting in them missing school. Recognizing this as a widespread issue, she felt a strong connection to the struggles and discomfort associated with menstruation.
Hunni & Chlo was founded to address this challenge by creating a safe and inclusive platform where women can speak with one voice, be heard, respected, and, above all, treated with dignity and humility.
