Aphelele's Story I first became interested in coding as a former student when I encountered Python during my studies. I was immediately fascinated by the concept of coding, as it seemed like a gateway to unlocking endless possibilities and creating solutions to real-world problems. The idea of being able to communicate with computers and instruct them to perform tasks intrigued me, sparking a curiosity and passion that has only grown stronger with time. Since then, I've been eagerly diving into the world of coding, eager to learn more and harness its power to make a positive impact.

🤹‍♀️ Aphelele's Hobbies

Some of my hobbies include reading, listening to music, playing badminton, and making art. I find joy in immersing myself in different worlds through books, exploring various genres and expanding my knowledge. Music is another passion of mine, as it allows me to unwind, express emotions, and discover new artists and sounds. Playing badminton not only keeps me active but also provides a great way to socialize and relieve stress. Additionally, I enjoy expressing my creativity through various art forms, whether it's painting, drawing. These hobbies bring balance to my life and allow me to pursue my interests outside of work or studies.

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.
