Sherelda's Story My fascination with coding began with a simple curiosity that burgeoned into a passion for problem-solving and creativity. Reflecting on my journey, I pinpoint the spark that ignited my interest in coding to my early experiences with video games. As a child, I was captivated by the intricacies of games and the magic of technology that brought them to life. I marveled at the seamless blend of graphics, sound, and interactivity, and I found myself drawn to understanding the mechanics behind these digital worlds. As I delved deeper, I realized that coding was the language of this digital realm, the key that unlocked the door to endless possibilities. Motivated by a desire to uncover the mysteries behind the games I loved, I embarked on a quest to learn more about programming. With each line of code I deciphered, I uncovered new layers of understanding and appreciation for the intricate dance between logic and creativity that coding entails. Moreover, I discovered that coding was not merely a technical skill but a powerful tool for expression and innovation. Whether it was crafting a website, developing a mobile app, or automating mundane tasks, coding empowered me to bring my ideas to life and make a tangible impact in the world around me. In essence, my journey into coding was driven by a potent combination of curiosity, fascination, and a thirst for knowledge. What began as a quest to unravel the mysteries of video games has evolved into a lifelong passion for coding—an odyssey filled with challenges, discoveries, and endless opportunities for growth.

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.
