Freshta's Story As a child, I have always been fascinated by technology while using computers, playing video games, and exploring different apps. My curiosity for technology increased when I realized how powerful it is that it has completely changed our world by connecting us from different places and has made life much faster and easier. Later on, after participating in many computer courses I became interested in coding, understanding how we can create interesting things like games out of nothing and just by writing lines of code. I was also inspired mostly by my brother who is a successful programmer, watching him create websites and build applications. Looking at my brother I realized how helpful coding can be to other people in solving real-life problems. For example, I remember once he and his team were working on a project to build an application where high school students could learn the basics of physics and mathematics just by participating in different games. All in all, I became interested in coding first with the help of my brother, participating in computer classes, and most importantly by my curiosity in writing code and developing a skill to pursue a stable career path contributing to my community by developing tools and addressing their needs.

🙋‍♀️ Freshta's Motivation

I want to learn coding because as a girl in my society, I feel the responsibility to serve and create opportunities for my family and other disadvantaged women. In the current situation in my country access to education and work is very limited for girls and women, although by learning how to code I will be able to break these barriers through working remotely. In addition, my desire for coding drives from my interest in coding and the way it makes me think differently which helps to find the best solution for example in coding there is not just one way of writing code but many it is important to find out the best and the most concise way. Additionally, in today’s world where technology affects almost every aspect of our lives understanding and keeping up with technological development has become very essential, learning to code will provide me with the skills to stay relevant with the rapid advancement of computers and technological tools. Hence by participating in the SheCodes program I will not only improve my skills in problem solving but will also be a help to other women beside securing my future career.

🤹‍♀️ Freshta's Hobbies

My hobbies include watching films, especially science fiction movies, playing games like solving puzzles, and chess, and reading books. I want to spend my time doing activities that challenge my mind, fascinate me, and improve my critical thinking. For example, solving puzzles motivates me to think critically and inspires creativity.

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.
