Dimakatso's Story My initial interest in coding sparked during my first year of university while pursuing a BSc in Applied Mathematics and Physics. It began with the "Introduction to Programming" module, where we utilized C++. As I progressed into my final year, the fascination deepened through the "Computational Modeling" course, employing Python. This exposure ignited a passion, prompting me to explore further. In my quest for proficiency, I discovered the allure of front-end development, leading me to enroll in a Responsive Web Design course on Freecodecamp . This journey has solidified my passion for coding, shaping my path as a software developer.

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.
