Zahra's Story I first became interested in programming due to my insatiable curiosity about how things work. From a young age, I was always eager to understand the inner workings of the world around me and to unravel the mysteries behind the technology we use every day. This curiosity led me to explore various fields and disciplines, but it was not until I stumbled upon programming that I truly found my passion. The idea of being able to create something out of nothing using just lines of code fascinated me. The logical thinking and problem-solving skills required in programming resonated with me, and I found myself drawn to the challenge of writing code to bring my ideas to life. As I delved deeper into the world of coding, I discovered the endless possibilities and the power to build innovative solutions to real-world problems. Programming quickly became more than just a hobby for me - it became a way of thinking and a means of expression. The ability to write code and see it come to life on a screen was incredibly rewarding, and I knew that this was something I wanted to pursue further. Today, programming has become an integral part of my life, fueling my curiosity and driving me to push the boundaries of what is possible.

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.
