Mary's Story I started with learning graphic design on Canva and Photoshop, to create fliers for a young Non-governmental organization I volunteered with in July, 2022. The organization also lacked a website and we had to contact web developers who charged us ridiculously high amounts. This spurred my interest to learn more about website development, and got me researching online about what it takes. I initially thought it was similar to my graphic designing but I discovered it required much more than that - coding, designing and more. I spoke to my friends who are into tech and they referred me to some online courses on coding for web development and I developed more interest in mobile application development especially. It is my desire to contribute to solving problems, achieving the sustainable development goals and being financially independent through coding.

🙋‍♀️ Mary's Motivation

As an advocate for the sustainable development goals, I have volunteered for several community development projects and worked with people from different backgrounds. This has exposed me to a lot of the problems we face as a country, one of which includes the low technological development, and the huge gap in women participation. I have been able to understand that anyone can code, regardless of background or gender and this has motivated my career transition into the tech space with strong determination and high hopes to excel. It is my desire to learn coding with SheCodes, as I am motivated and inspired by the stories of the successful women who have gone through the program and I will be excited to join the community. I look forward to specializing in mobile application development, and hope to share ideas and connect with fellow female developers.

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.
