Community Based Organizations are mostly small scale organizations or informal groups, which serve the needs of the neighborhood or geographical communities (neighborhood, district of the city, village, small town, etc) or take care of the interests of the residents of this community.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Also, in a digital world where there is a very fragile line between reality and fiction, it is important for people to know how to protect their personal information so that they do not become victims of online fishing and fraud. For this purpose, an online webinar was planned with Pasha Bank for the representatives of community based organizations.
