The purpose of the CASTODIAN Foundation is to protect and save the lives of millions of people worldwide, the MOST vulnerable road users, who are (or should be) wearing helmets.

Our Mission: Fewer traffic casualties, by more people consciously wearing safe(r) helmets!

From our research we identified 7 Factors that together actually make a helmet - ANY helmet - SAFE for its user. These 7 Factors are the foundation of all our activities.

A safe helmet is one that meets ALL of the 7 factors below. So a helmet is ONLY safe for its user when it is...

 1. ... certified for the intended use
 2. ... without damage or defect
 3. ... not too old (< 7 years from production date)
 4. ... clean outside, hygienic inside
 5. ... properly fitting its user
 6. ... clearly visible
 7. ... used as intended

Together with partners, (motor-)cyclists and stakeholders, we create awareness and change of behaviour: we provide brand-neutral knowledge, products and services that make ANY helmet the safest helmet for its user!

We are fully committed to SDG 3, Target 6 - ZERO deaths from road accidents globally by 2050.

The Challenge

The world currently counts more than 1.6 billion people riding (Powered) Two Wheelers ((P)TW), like motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles. 
The WHO identifies this fast-growing group of traffic participants as the MOST VULNERABLE road users:

➡  Every year at least 400.000 (P)TW riders die, 15 Million are severely injured, at USD 245 billion in costs.
➡  In over 75% of all fatalities, HEAD INJURY is the leading cause of death!

The main reason for these horrifically high numbers:
NON-use or INCORRECT use of - often UNSAFE - helmets by at least 50% of all (P)TW riders.
This is mainly caused by lack of awareness and knowledge about risks and about what actually makes a helmet safe for its user with ALL stakeholders.

This needs to change to reach ZERO traffic fatalities by 2050!
