A safer digital life for every Pakistani
Digital Guard is an independent, non-profit cyber awareness program that teaches ordinary people — in simple language — how to stay safe from online fraud and harassment.
Started at the Amal Academy Fellowship
Digital Guard began as an Amal Academy Fellowship mega project aimed at protecting non-technical university students from OTP fraud, phishing and fake job offers.
We surveyed students across Faisalabad universities to understand which threats they face most, and in July 2026 we ran an online awareness session with an international guest speaker.
Now we run the program on a permanent basis for all of Pakistan — free modules, scam alerts, sessions at institutions and guidance for victims of harassment.
