Lerato's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized the incredible power it holds to bring ideas to life and solve real-world problems. As our world becomes increasingly digital, I saw coding as a gateway to understanding the technology shaping our lives. The ability to create something from scratch, to build websites, apps, and programs, fascinated me. I was drawn to the idea of turning a concept in my mind into a tangible, functional reality. The creative potential and the prospect of contributing to innovations that could make a positive impact on the world sparked my curiosity and passion for coding.

🤹‍♀️ Lerato's Hobbies

I enjoy a variety of activities for fun and relaxation. I find solace in reading, immersing myself in different worlds through books. Exploring the outdoors, whether it's hiking in nature reserves or simply taking a stroll in the park, brings me a sense of peace. Additionally, I find joy in cooking and trying out new recipes, especially when it involves experimenting with flavors and cuisines but what brings more joy is gaming, I love and enjoying playing digital games so and also just try to figure who came up with it and how.

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.
