Dibora's Story During my time in Grade 11, I was introduced to the world of coding through HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as part of an assignment. This initial exposure sparked my curiosity, and I was fascinated by the creative possibilities and problem-solving aspects of technology. Eager to delve deeper, I participated in a summer training program where I had the opportunity to work on diverse coding projects. This hands-on experience not only expanded my skill set but also unveiled the immense potential and impact that technology could have. It was during this period that my interest in coding transformed into a genuine passion, setting the foundation for my journey into the world of software development.

🙋‍♀️ Dibora's Motivation

My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes is rooted in a passionate drive to address gender disparities in the tech industry. Currently, only 25% of coding jobs are held by women, who earn 30% less than their male counterparts. Moreover, in developing countries, a majority of women lack access to education and financial resources. SheCodes' mission to provide free coding education to women in developing countries and refugees aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact. I believe that by acquiring coding skills, women can break barriers, overcome financial constraints, and pave the way for better opportunities in their careers. As a woman in tech, I am inspired to contribute to this mission, not only to enhance my own software engineering skills but also to be part of a movement that empowers women globally. Learning alongside like-minded women and being a catalyst for change in the industry motivates me to embark on this coding journey with SheCodes.

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.
