Mbali's Story I first became interested in coding through a personal project where I wanted to create a website for my then-side hustle. I had no prior coding experience, but I was determined to bring my vision to life. In the process of researching and experimenting with different languages, I discovered the fascinating world of coding. As I struggled with the initial challenges, I stumbled upon a coding community online that provided support and resources. This experience not only helped me overcome obstacles but also introduced me to the collaborative and supportive nature of the coding community. Witnessing the impact and versatility of coding in turning my idea into a functional website ignited my curiosity and passion for programming. The logical problem-solving aspects of coding appealed to me, and I found joy in the process of translating creative concepts into tangible, interactive solutions. This hands-on experience solidified my belief in the transformative power of coding. Moreover, I am drawn to the constant evolution of technology and how coding serves as a gateway to innovation. It became clear to me that learning how to code is not just a skill but a transformative journey that opens doors to endless possibilities.

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.
