Nelly's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized that coding is the backbone of innovation. The ability to use innovation to solve global challenges, from education to climate change, inspired me to dive into the world of coding and develop the skills necessary to make a meaningful impact. My journey began during my internship at Kipsigis Girls High School, where I saw how digital tools could enhance learning. This, combined with my passion for environmental issues, led me to explore the tech field more broadly. Now, I’m specifically focusing on coding by applying for this opportunity with SheCodes, eager to combine my experience in tech, education, and climate advocacy to create meaningful change.

🙋‍♀️ Nelly's Motivation

I’m motivated to learn coding through SheCodes because I believe it’s a vital skill that can drive change in both education and climate advocacy. As an educator and climate advocate, I see coding as a tool to create innovative solutions that address educational gaps and environmental challenges. SheCodes’ mission to empower women in tech aligns with my goals of developing impactful, sustainable technologies. The hands-on learning and supportive community at SheCodes will help me gain the skills needed to make a real difference in these areas.

🤹‍♀️ Nelly's Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy reading, particularly on topics related to climate advocacy, education, and technology. Volunteering is also a passion of mine, as it allows me to give back to my community and work on causes I care about, like environmental conservation and education. Additionally, I love exploring new technology trends and taking online courses for fun, which helps me stay updated and continuously improve my skills.

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.
