Bethel's Story My interest in coding started when I was a kid. I remember watching a friend type “Hi Helen” on a computer, and I was amazed by how such a simple message appeared on the screen. That moment made me curious about how coding works, and I began exploring it on my own. Now, as I’m applying for SheCodes, I see it as a great chance to turn that curiosity into real skills. SheCodes provides a supportive and friendly environment that will help me build on what I already know and learn new things. I’m excited to join this program, learn from experts, and work with other people who are also passionate about coding. By being part of SheCodes, I hope to grow my skills, work on interesting projects, and solve real problems. This program feels like the perfect next step for me, and I’m looking forward to what I can achieve with the help of this community.

🙋‍♀️ Bethel's Motivation

I can't wait to start coding with SheCodes since it feels like a doorway to countless opportunities. I want to see my ideas become reality and learn how to develop creative and useful solutions, such as websites and apps. SheCodes provides a fun and encouraging community where I may meet people on similar paths. The process is made more fun and less scary by the community feedback and participatory learning method. My objectives are to learn new skills, increase my self-assurance, and use code to solve practical issues. I can't wait to get started on this adventure, work on worthwhile initiatives, and see where it leads.

🤹‍♀️ Bethel's Hobbies

I love reading books, especially biographies. I’m fascinated by people’s life stories, whether they’re famous or not. My favorite book is Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. His story really captures why I enjoy learning about other people’s lives so much.

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.
