Nekita's Story I first got interested in coding when I joined a program where I learned the basics of HTML and CSS through FreeCodeCamp. As part of the program, I was tasked with creating a website for an organisation, which I successfully completed. However, at the time, not many people were pursuing coding path, so I decided to go with my second option. Later on, my interest in coding reignited when I realised the variety of opportunities in the field and the job security it offers. Seeing the demand for tech skills and the potential for growth made me want to dive back in and explore it further.

🙋‍♀️ Nekita's Motivation

I am highly motivated to learn how to code with SheCodes because I aspire to build a successful career in coding. While I have some foundational knowledge, it is quite minimal, and I am eager to deepen my understanding by exploring more programming languages and gaining practical experience. This opportunity would allow me to develop the necessary skills to become more confident and capable in the tech industry. If given the chance, I will fully commit to expanding my knowledge, improving my abilities, and ultimately securing a job in this field.

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.
