Kirsten's Story I was first introduced to coding in 2020 where I participated in online courses that involved some coding in R and Python. Since then I am much more aware of the application of coding in many industries. Thus, I am interested in learning coding because of its use in various fields. Most importantly, coding improves one's analytical and problem-solving skills. Further, I would like to participate as well as keep up with technological and digital transformations that the world is going through.

🙋‍♀️ Kirsten's Motivation

My motivation to learn coding is to help improve my job skills and confidence, as I believe my level of expertise is not competitive enough for the current and future job market. With Botswana embracing digitisation across the various sectors, coding is becoming a must-have skill. Additionally, Botswana is encouraging women and the youth to venture into technology and the sciences as these demographics are underrepresented. Being a young woman, I believe SheCodes will build my skills, knowledge and competence to help the country in this mission through active participation in this line of work.

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.
