Speaking to Urban News, Sono stated that it breaks her heart to see that so many women still struggle with not having access to sanitary towels.
This can have a huge impact in their self-confident and self-esteem which is so important for one to feel loved and valued.
“Having access to sanitary items brings a sense of dignity and pride within oneself. And for as long as I am able to provide sanitary towels to woman with the support of brands like FlutterByLKG and White Star, I will continue to celebrate the beauty and value of women by contributing to the fight against period poverty,” said Sono.

“May the impact of the brand FlutterByLKG grow and continue to change more lives,” concluded Sono.
