Protect with our locally manufactured nano disinfectant and kits.
At the same time, we have also founded Prof. Guard Cares, a community initiative where we will donate 5% of our profit to safeguard the lifestyle and wellness of our beneficiaries, especially in the area of mental wellness advocacy. #ProfGuardOurCommunity
