Safaa's Story I recently became interested in programming while considering the skills I'll need in the future. As a geography student, I noticed that many GIS tools and digital maps rely on programming, which made me want to learn how. At first, it seemed a bit difficult because I hadn't studied it before, but I started reading and watching simple beginner videos. I discovered that programming isn't just for computer science students; it can be helpful in many fields, including geography. I want to learn programming so I can work better with geographic data and develop small tools that will make my studies easier. Learning programming can also open up better job opportunities in the future and enhance my technical skills alongside my studies.

🙋‍♀️ Safaa's Motivation

I want to learn programming because I want to gain skills that will be useful for my future. I'm a first-year geography student, and in my field, we use technology a lot, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I believe that learning programming will help me better understand GIS tools and work with geographic data more easily. I'm interested in how technology can be used to solve real-world problems. In geography, we study maps and data, and I think programming can make tasks like data analysis and creating simple tools easier and more efficient. Also, learning programming can open up more opportunities for me in the future. Technical skills are important today, and I want to combine them with my geography studies to strengthen my profile for the future. I don't have much programming experience yet, but I'm ready to learn step by step.This scholarship will help me acquire practical skills that I cannot easily obtain.

🤹‍♀️ Safaa's Hobbies

I enjoy reading and learning new things. Reading helps me discover new ideas and understand the world better. I also love exploring technology and learning skills that can help me in my studies and personal growth.

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.
