Aphelele's Story I first became interested in coding as a former student when I encountered Python during my studies. I was immediately fascinated by the concept of coding, as it seemed like a gateway to unlocking endless possibilities and creating solutions to real-world problems. The idea of being able to communicate with computers and instruct them to perform tasks intrigued me, sparking a curiosity and passion that has only grown stronger with time. Since then, I've been eagerly diving into the world of coding, eager to learn more and harness its power to make a positive impact.

The SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The SheCodes Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
