Emihle's Story My interest in coding sparked during my journey to upgrade my digital skills. Coming from an accounting background, I have always loved logic, structure, and precision. When I began working closely with computers during my digital literacy studies, a whole new world opened up to me. I found myself constantly wondering how the websites and tools I was using were created. That curiosity led me to research front-end development, and I immediately knew I wanted to learn how to build interactive web projects from scratch.

🙋‍♀️ Emihle's Motivation

I am applying for the SheCodes scholarship because I am deeply committed to transitioning into the technology sector and mastering web development. My educational journey has always been driven by logic and problem-solving. Having spent years studying accountancy, I have built a strong foundation in analytical thinking, working with detailed systems, and managing structured data. To bridge the gap between my business background and the tech world, I am currently pursuing a Computer Digital Literacy course to build up my foundational technical skills. However, I want to go beyond learning how to use software,I want to learn how to build it. I am fascinated by the logic of programming and how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can transform a blank screen into an interactive user experience. As a mother, building a flexible, forward-thinking career path in tech is incredibly important to me. SheCodes offers the perfect, supportive environment for women to learn practical skills and build real-world portfolios. I am highly disciplined, eager to learn, and ready to dedicate my time to successfully complete this workshop and launch my path as a developer. Thank you for this opportunity.

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.
