Nabila's Story My interest in coding sparked during a pivotal moment in 9th grade when a zero on a test made me reassess the true value of grades. It was a wake-up call that grades were merely numbers on paper, and I had lost touch with my genuine passions in pursuit of high scores. This realization ignited a journey of self-discovery, leading me to explore what truly captivated me. Despite the limited resources in my town, I dedicated myself to self-study, delving into the basics of coding. This process demanded patience, time, and perseverance as I navigated through unfamiliar territory. With every line of code I wrote, I found a sense of fulfillment and excitement that I had been missing. Coding became more than a skill; it became a gateway to a world where creativity and problem-solving merged seamlessly. Through this journey of self-teaching, I not only found my passion but also discovered a path where I could channel my curiosity and drive for learning into tangible creations.

🙋‍♀️ Nabila's Motivation

My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes stems from my unwavering determination to overcome the obstacles faced by women in Afghanistan. Despite the government closing doors for women in the tech field, I refuse to lose sight of my goal to invest in the future generation and make a lasting impact. I see learning to code as a powerful tool to create opportunities not just for myself, but for other women who aspire to enter the tech industry. Through SheCodes, I am equipping myself with the skills needed to break barriers, inspire others, and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. My motivation is rooted in the belief that education and empowerment are key to creating positive change, and I am committed to being a catalyst for progress in Afghanistan, despite the challenges we face.

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.
