Anke's Story My love for coding started when my uncle, who is a backend developer, introduced me to this amazing world. I was so amazed by the lines of code on his computer screen and I saw coding as a language that I wanted to understand. With my uncle's guidance, I became more curious and learned about how programming can make a big impact in different industries. As I dived deeper into coding, I realized that it is not just a tool for solving problems, but also a way to express my creativity. My uncle taught me about different programming languages and frameworks, which helped me on my personal coding journey.

🙋‍♀️ Anke's Motivation

I am motivated to learn how to code because I am fascinated by technology and its potential to transform. Coding allows me solve problems in a logical way and come up with clever solutions. It's like creating art because it allows me to express myself in a unique and creative way. Learning to code is not just about being practical, it's about being curious, having problem-solving skills, and wanting to make a difference in the future by being innovative. Coding also improves my chances at a better life not only for me but also my family.

🤹‍♀️ Anke's Hobbies

I enjoy so many different things. I love ice-skating because it's so graceful, and I also have been playing action netball and field hockey since primary school. Sometimes, when I want to relax and forget about my worries, I spent my time fishing and reading a fictional books.

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education. Female refugees also don’t have many opportunities to invest in their education and improve their career horizon - they often work in unskilled, undervalued, and low-paid informal sectors.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries and women who are refugees with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.
