Mathapelo's Story I've honestly always been intrigued by coding, in how what seemed like numbers and characters at the time could get a computer to function. Although I may not have known at that point that it was coding, but my interest had already developed.

🙋‍♀️ Mathapelo's Motivation

I am looking to get out of my comfort zone and expand my skill set, coding has become a high value skill in this ever-advancing world. I enjoy problem solving, so when I researched more about coding and joined the SheCodes intro session I felt more interested to learn and enter into a career in tech.

🤹‍♀️ Mathapelo's Hobbies

I like reading mostly crime thrillers and self-help finance books. I recently started painting.

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.
