Mary 's Story I first became interested in coding when I interacted with a lady whose passion is helping others. She created an app that enabled her to monitor the behavior and get to know when to send immediate help. Also in prime time news, I once saw high school students create an app that made the recognized internationally. This really challenged me.

🙋‍♀️ Mary 's Motivation

My greatest motivation to learn how to code is to learn a new skill in computer. As a communication coordinator, I get to interact a lot with the computer. I want to be able to liaise with the IT department on design programs that will help the organization save more time. I have knowledge of computer studies but learning how to code will enable me to understand the computer more. Another major motivation is enhancing my problem-solving skills and became an abstract thinker.

🤹‍♀️ Mary 's Hobbies

I love going for hikes, reading, and cooking. I also enjoy bike riding.

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.
