Samukele's Story I discovered my passion for coding in high school when we were assigned a project to create a website. The process fascinated me—how a few lines of code could transform into something visually impressive and functional. I was captivated by the logic and creativity involved, as well as the ability to bring ideas to life through programming. That experience sparked my curiosity and motivated me to explore the endless possibilities that coding offers.

🙋‍♀️ Samukele's Motivation

I’m currently working as an Intern Machine Learning Engineer and am always eager to broaden my skill set and deepen my expertise. Through social media, I’ve come across numerous inspiring testimonials, especially from women in tech, which has motivated me to seek out similar opportunities. Since entering the industry, I've noticed the underrepresentation of women, and this has strengthened my resolve to contribute to creating a more inclusive environment. I’m passionate about breaking down barriers and encouraging diversity within the field, while continuing to grow both professionally and personally.

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.
