PALESA's Story Coding has always been something i wanted to do. Now when i didn't succeed learning via a higher institution, i figured SheCodes foundation can help me reach my dream. Learning how to code opens up more opportunities for remote work and i'm someone who likes working from home.

🙋‍♀️ PALESA's Motivation

It stood out to me how SheCodes has a 4.9 star rating, and how SheCodes verification is recognised by a lot of tech companies. I understand that this can come in handy for me in the near future. As a young black woman, I like how a lot of women who came out of the course went out to get really nice jobs. Furthermore, as an unemployed young woman who has been trying to get jobs, I believe that learning how to code will ease the journey by making me a more marketable and competitive candidate. I also like how SheCodes offers free courses. SheCodes introduces one to a community of wonderful skilled women. I want to have that connection, as I know it will come in handy. I also have always known coding as a male dominated field. SheCodes is changing the industry. I am motivated to learn with SheCodes because i want to be part of the statistics and the change. This will challenge me to be the better and more skilled me. And what a better way to do it than with SheCodes that offers free courses, as a young lady with no means but passion.

🤹‍♀️ PALESA's Hobbies

I like reading novels. I also spend a lot of time on YouTube learning DIYs. I also like creating short content on platforms like TikTok, example; vlogs.

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.
