Ongezwa's Story My interest in coding first emerged through my academic and professional experiences in economics and data analysis. During my studies and internships, I frequently encountered complex datasets and research tasks that required advanced analytical methods. This exposure to data-driven work highlighted the potential of coding to enhance data manipulation, analysis, and visualization. Moreover, coding appeals to my innate curiosity and problem-solving mindset. The challenge of translating complex problems into code and finding elegant solutions is intellectually stimulating and aligns with my analytical and research-oriented nature.

🙋‍♀️ Ongezwa's Motivation

My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes stems from a desire to further enhance my analytical and research capabilities, leveraging my background in economics and policy analysis. SheCodes will also assist me in enhancing my data and analysis skills as my background includes extensive work with data using tools like Stata, Eviews, and Excel. Coding will allow me to deepen my ability to handle and analyze complex datasets, automate repetitive tasks, and uncover patterns that can drive more informed decisions and recommendations.

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.
