Elise's Story My interest in coding was sparked by observing the impact of technology in our modern world. As I witnessed the transformative power of technology in various aspects of life, I became increasingly curious about how it all worked behind the scenes. I started exploring technology-related content online and came across numerous discussions and success stories related to coding. What truly captured my attention was how coding empowered individuals to bring their ideas to life, create innovative solutions, and positively impact society. The ability to build websites, develop applications, and automate tasks fascinated me. I realized that coding was not just a technical skill but a powerful means of problem-solving and creativity. Furthermore, I found inspiration in the vibrant coding community and the enthusiasm shared by individuals who were passionate about coding. Online forums, coding tutorials, and social media platforms allowed me to witness the collaborative nature of coding, where developers supported and encouraged one another. Motivated by these experiences, I decided to delve deeper into coding. I started exploring introductory coding courses and tutorials, experimenting with simple projects, and gradually building my understanding of programming concepts.

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.
