Guardians of Health

The Guardians of Health Project is a science-based and community-oriented preventive health education initiative that focuses on the critical role of healthy lifestyle habits acquired at an early age in the prevention of chronic diseases, particularly cancer and personal health conditions. Within the scope of the project, it is aimed to increase the knowledge levels of middle and high school students on cancer prevention, healthy nutrition, physical activity, avoidance of harmful habits, and early awareness. The educational material within the project is delivered in local schools, offering students age-appropriate and developmentally suitable evidence-based information. Through this approach, the project aims to contribute to the reduction of cancer incidence in the long term and to strengthen a culture of preventive health across society.
