Nafisa's Story My journey into programming started when I was looking for a way to improve a website I had built with a free platform. Despite my initial enthusiasm, I quickly encountered various limitations. Without any coding knowledge, I tried to customize the site or add advanced features, but it was not possible. It was at that moment that I knew how important and powerful coding is. I realized that if I knew how to code, I could build any website or app and implement any functionality with it without limitations. I am truly amazed at the power of coding. Coding turns thoughts and ideas into reality like magic. This skill empowers people to use technology effectively to achieve their goals. For someone like me who wants to start a successful business, coding will provide the tools to create websites and applications that will facilitate communication with customers and provide them with an informed choice. In addition, it will help in expanding the business beyond the geographical boundaries. These are the reasons that have motivated me to learn coding.

🙋‍♀️ Nafisa's Motivation

My motivation to learn coding comes from the fact that I aspire to become a successful web designer. My ultimate goal is to set up various websites that will support the business I plan to create in the future. As an aspiring entrepreneur, I am passionate about empowering Afghan girls to achieve financial independence. I believe that learning to code will equip me with useful skills to provide educational and career opportunities for myself and others in the community. I have witnessed firsthand the tremendously transformative impact of the world of online communication on the development of business and commerce. And this has motivated me more than ever to learn coding as a tool to unlock new possibilities, including designing and customizing websites that are in line with personal preferences and market needs. I am excited to announce that I have been accepted into the Business Administration program at the University of Venice, Italy. I plan to study coding at the same time as my university courses through the shecodes foundation, because I believe this combination will increase my knowledge and skills and enable me to achieve my academic and professional goals. Thank you for considering my request. I am looking forward to accepting this great opportunity through your foundation.

🤹‍♀️ Nafisa's Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy reading books, especially books that focus on personal growth. When I am super motivated, I read books related to business and creative work. I am a painter and I allow myself to enjoy creating art whenever I can. I value social communication and often organize meetings with friends and influential people in my life and exchange thoughts and ideas. Finally, I am always committed to exercise and believe it plays a vital role in my overall well-being.

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.
