Joan's Story I learnt a bit of coding while in highschool during a competition sponsored by a company called Safaricom. The company took some of the students from our school, I being one to a day's workshop. At this workshop we were able to meet and interact with young women in various fields of engineering. This sparked a desire to tread the path not taken by most women and learning how to code with SheCodes will be a great beginning.

🙋‍♀️ Joan's Motivation

To be able to learn Coding. I would like to pursue a career in software developing and engineering and this will be a great start. Learning to create websites and mobile applications will help me easily create solutions to existing conditions around me. With so many children lacking in basic source of knowledge ,I have always thought of how convenient it would be to have software that would enable anyone willing to learn to log in and access free sources of knowledge including a virtual science lab where a student can mix reagents and make fun chemical reactions. The very ultimate aim however is to improve quality of my life in all areas.

🤹‍♀️ Joan's Hobbies

I am a creative. I do paint drawings and mosaic arrangements. I am talented in arranging or sorting items, be it house arrangements or books or planning activities. I sing.

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.
