Nomkhosi's Story My interest in coding first sparked in 2019 when I began to delve into the world of technology. I was keen on participating in a learnership program offered by WeThinkCode, but unfortunately, financial constraints coupled with the challenges of being without access to data and a computer halted my plans. This setback occurred during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, further complicating my aspirations to immerse myself in coding. Despite these obstacles, the desire to learn coding persisted, fueled by the realization of its potential to unlock opportunities and innovation in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

🤹‍♀️ Nomkhosi's Hobbies

Some of my hobbies include learning new skills, particularly through online courses or workshops. I also enjoy watching movies, especially ones that transport me to different worlds or provoke thought and discussion. Taking long drives, especially on scenic routes, is another activity I find relaxing and rejuvenating. Additionally, I love exploring markets, whether it's for unique finds, delicious food, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. These activities all bring me joy and fulfilment, allowing me to unwind and explore different interests outside 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.
