Harriet 's Story I have a background in IT but only familiar with fundamental coding basics nothing major. I have always had interest in coding but no access to resources to make it possible for me to study further. Another reason was seen my son joining coding bootcamp for kids and he's gotten good at it,i thought it would be great for me to gain the coding skills so we can grow and build an interactive space together in coding as creatives.

🙋‍♀️ Harriet 's Motivation

The Digital Space is growing fast in Zambia/Africa and providing great job opportunities. Even with this in mind there are few women in the Tech industry with proficient coding skills (Programmers, software engineers, and developers). I came across a group of ladies on tiktok who joined the Shecodes workshops and have improved their coding skills and landed good paying jobs in the Tech industry. Going through their portfolios gave me the inspiration to finally chase my dreams of been a coding professional-programmer as it will open up new career choices. Shecodes also provides a community of ladies that support and inspire eachother,making it an ideal space for me to grow.

🤹‍♀️ Harriet 's Hobbies

I love writing poetry,reading biographies ,self improvement and religious literature,photography,art and Baking.

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.
