Lunakazi's Story My fascination with coding began in high school, where I was fortunate enough to have IT and Computer Application Technology as part of my curriculum. In grade 10 and grade 11, I was introduced to Delphi, a programming language that sparked my interest in coding. I was captivated by the logic and problem-solving aspects of programming, and I quickly realized that coding wasn't just about writing lines of code, but about creating something from scratch. As I progressed to grade 12, I continued to explore my passion for coding through Computer Application Technology. This experience solidified my desire to pursue a career in tech, and l have been hooked on coding ever since. Throughout my journey, l have come to appreciate the creativity, innovation, and endless possibilities that coding offers. I'm excited to continue learning, growing, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with code.

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.
