Nokwanda's Story My journey into coding began with a sense of curiosity and the desire to understand the digital world that surrounds us. Witnessing the transformative impact of technology on various aspects of life, I became intrigued by the language that powers innovation. The prospect of creating something from scratch, the allure of problem-solving, and the potential to contribute to the ever-evolving tech landscape captivated me. It was this blend of creativity and logical thinking that sparked my initial interest in coding, setting me on a path of continuous learning and exploration.

I am drawn to She Codes because it offers more than just coding skills; it provides a gateway to empowerment for females in developing countries. In the world of technology, where opportunities are vast but often unevenly distributed, She Codes stands as a beacon for inclusivity. By learning to code, I am not merely acquiring a skill; I am gaining the power to shape my own future and contribute to the progress of my community.

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.
