Gaothaelwe's Story I first became interested in coding when I watched a close friend build a website for a local business from scratch. Seeing lines of text transform into an interactive, functional platform felt like magic. That experience sparked my curiosity, prompting me to look up basic HTML tutorials online, which made me realize how much I enjoy problem-solving.

🙋‍♀️ Gaothaelwe's Motivation

My primary motivation is to transition into a career in technology and secure a stable, remote software engineering role. Currently, my career options are limited, and learning to code will allow me to build valuable technical skills. This program will give me the tools to achieve financial independence and build a better, more secure future for myself and my family.

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.
