Denyse's Story Ever since childhood, I've had an intense fascination with coding. It was always my dream to pursue a career in this field, but unfortunately, political instability in my country prevented me from realizing that dream. I still vividly remember my curiosity about computers and technology in second grade. This curiosity led me to connect with my neighbor, an expert in coding. She introduced me to some fundamental concepts and ignited my passion for learning about coding. During our discussions, she emphasized the importance of different programming languages. However, she also stressed that passion and hard work were the key to mastering coding. She firmly believed that anyone could become proficient in this skill with dedication. This philosophy greatly inspired me and reaffirmed my determination to learn how to code. I am particularly interested in joining the SheCodes Foundation to acquire coding skills. In today's technology-driven world, coding plays a crucial role. Learning to code will enhance my problem-solving abilities and make me more practical in the tech industry. Moreover, mastering coding will open doors to infinite personal and professional growth opportunities. I am always eager to expand my knowledge and skill set in the realm of coding. The SheCodes Foundation is renowned for its exceptional coding education and support. Their program will provide a strong coding foundation, allowing me to develop the necessary skills for success.

🙋‍♀️ Denyse's Motivation

I have a strong desire to acquire knowledge of coding through SheCodes. My enthusiasm for coding stems from my yearning for creative expression and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, since childhood, I have aspired to pursue a career in coding, which unfortunately could not be realized due to political instability in my homeland. Being a refugee further motivates me, as I aim to utilize my coding skills to make a positive impact and assist fellow individuals in similar circumstances. In doing so, I can actively contribute to constructing a brighter future for myself and my community. Moreover, I acknowledge the immense significance of coding in this digital era, where technology plays an integral role in all aspects of our lives. In earlier times, it was widely believed that acquiring knowledge was challenging for females. However, in today's world, girls have numerous avenues to pursue education and thrive in diverse domains. As a woman, I aspire to empower myself and make a valuable contribution toward fostering positivity in my local community. If I am fortunate enough to be granted the chance to partake in SheCodes, it will aid me in attaining the aspirations I held dear since childhood, despite the obstacles I have encountered.

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.
