Lindiwe's Story I first became interested in coding when I started exploring how technology is transforming the workplace and creating new career opportunities. With my background in banking and administration, I became curious about what happens behind the digital tools and websites that make everyday tasks easier and more efficient. As I developed my interest in improving my computer skills, particularly through learning Excel, I realised that I enjoyed working with technology and solving problems. This encouraged me to explore coding as a new skill rather than limiting myself to the areas I already know. I became especially interested in the idea that coding allows you to turn an idea into something practical and useful. The more I learned about coding, the more I wanted to understand how websites and digital solutions are created. This motivated me to look for an opportunity like SheCodes, where I can start from the fundamentals, develop my skills through practical projects and discover where coding could take me professionally.

🙋‍♀️ Lindiwe's Motivation

I am motivated to apply for the SheCodes Foundation because I want to expand my skills and create better career opportunities for myself. My background is in banking, administration and customer service, and I am currently studying Public Administration and Management. I believe that developing coding and digital skills will complement my existing experience and help me remain competitive in an increasingly technology-driven job market. I want to learn coding because it will challenge me to think differently, strengthen my problem-solving skills and introduce me to opportunities beyond traditional administrative roles. I am eager to learn something new and develop a practical skill that I can use to grow professionally. The opportunity to access quality coding education through SheCodes would be especially valuable to me because it would allow me to develop these skills without the financial burden of another paid programme. I am committed to completing the programme, building a strong portfolio and using the knowledge I gain to create new opportunities for myself. I see SheCodes as an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, invest in myself and build a stronger, more versatile career.

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.
