Mpho's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized how powerful technology is in shaping the world. Living in South Africa, where unemployment is very high, I started looking for skills that could help me build a better future. I kept seeing how coding is opening doors for many people, especially women, and I became curious about how I, too, could learn and create something meaningful. I do not have prior experience in coding, but I have a strong desire to learn. Seeing how websites, apps, and digital tools are built has inspired me to gain this skill so I can improve my career prospects and achieve financial independence. The thought of being able to create something from scratch excites me, and I know that learning to code will be a life-changing opportunity. SheCodes provides the perfect platform for me to take my first steps in coding, and I am eager to begin this journey.

🙋‍♀️ Mpho's Motivation

I am deeply motivated to learn how to code with SheCodes because I want to change my life and build a better future for myself. Coming from South Africa, where unemployment is extremely high, especially among young women, I know that gaining digital skills can open doors to new opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. I have always wanted to learn a valuable skill that could help me secure a stable job, but financial barriers have made it difficult. Coding is something I never imagined myself doing, but I now realize that technology is shaping the world, and I want to be part of that future. With SheCodes, I will have a chance to gain practical skills in a supportive environment designed for women like me who are eager to learn but lack opportunities. This scholarship would mean everything to me. It would not only empower me with coding skills but also give me confidence and hope for a better future. I am ready to work hard, complete the program, and use my knowledge to improve my career prospects. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and hope to be part of the SheCodes community. Thank you for considering my application.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring creative activities like drawing and writing. I also love learning new things, especially about technology. When I need to relax, I watch movies or listen to music. Staying active is important to me, so I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors.

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.
