UKAMAKA's Story I became interested in coding when i stumbled on problem solving websites like codechef and tried my hands on some of the problems posted. Although I failed woefully in solving them, I was very interested in the thought process that would lead to a solution for these issues. However I wasn't able to pursue my interest because of how expensive coding classes are.

🙋‍♀️ UKAMAKA's Motivation

I am motivated to learn with Shecodes as it is a female focused foundation that understands the peculiar challenges that women, especially those of us from low income countries face in getting quality formal education. I am very excited to learn with Shecodes because I feel like they get me and understand my challenges and will do all they can to make sure I get a fighting chance.

🤹‍♀️ UKAMAKA's Hobbies

I love reading. I am a voracious reader and I sometimes use this to escape from my reality. I also like playing with my kids. We dont have much options for paid fun activities so I try to creatively come up with activities for them to have a bit of fun so they dont feel like they are missing out. Its difficult to do so many fun things for fun if one is scraping by with what they have available.

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.
