Keosha's Story My interest with coding began during high school when I chose Computer Applications Technology (CAT) as a subject. It was in this class that I was introduced to the basics of HTML, sparking my initial interest in the world of coding.Building on this foundation, I pursued a certificate in Software Development during college (2023). This formal education deepened my understanding of coding principles and allowed me to explore various programming languages. The hands-on experience and practical projects further fueled my passion for coding. Now, with a solid educational background in software development, I am eager to take the next step in my coding journey with SheCodes.

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.
