Lena 's Story My interest in coding stemmed from a curiosity about how technology works and a desire to create meaningful solutions. Growing up, I was always fascinated by computers and the internet, and I spent countless hours exploring different software and websites. As I learned more about the capabilities of technology, I became increasingly interested in how coding enables these innovations. One pivotal moment was when I encountered a problem that I couldn't solve with existing software. I realized that by learning how to code, I could not only solve my immediate problem but also create solutions for others facing similar challenges. This realization sparked a passion for coding that has only grown stronger over time. I began teaching myself the basics of coding through online resources and tutorials, and I quickly discovered the joy of building something from scratch and seeing it come to life. As I delved deeper into coding, I found that it was not just a technical skill but also a creative outlet, allowing me to express myself and bring my ideas to fruition. My interest in coding has since evolved into a passion, and I am eager to continue learning and growing in this field. I am excited about the endless possibilities that coding offers and the opportunity to make a positive impact through technology.

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.
