The Sağlıklı Yaşam Vakfı (Healthy Living Foundation) established the ‘Akif Manaf Health and Peace Award’ to recognize contributions toward sustainable, healthy, and peaceful living. The foundation’s mission encompasses environmental protection, improving conditions for women and people with disabilities, and implementing ‘Healthy Living Villages in Peace’ projects.

While the award was initially dedicated to the memory of Sabiha Gökçen for her vision of peace, a subsequent year saw the award dedicated to the memory of poet Nâzım Hikmet Ran, chosen for his poetic vision of peace and brotherhood.
