Sandra's Story I recently noticed that I have a great interest in everything that has to do with tech who knows I might go into it full time. I read things online and it kinda pushed my interest the more and am glad that I have taken the first step which is declaring of interest in gaining a knowledge.

🙋‍♀️ Sandra's Motivation

Coding is a language of its own and one can freely communicate through it. Through this knowledge, it will make me to be creative and also help me to improve in my writings. Someone that knows coding can comfortably solve a lot of problems, I see it as a basic literacy in this digital age. I have seen that everything is going digital so one has to be up to speed with it and learning coding will go a long way in helping me to be independent. I see so many women making their ways in tech and I asked myself if they can achieve this why can't you although am financially constrained in paying for such knowledge that was why I grabbed this opportunity with every energy that I have and I hope to better my life through it. I don't really know much about shecodes apart from what I read recently and it will be my pleasure to be part of this awesome initiative, I also hope that I will be given an opportunity to work with them one day cause it will be my pleasure. There are so many things one will gain by having such knowledge and that's my strongest motivation and the force which drives me to this.

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.
