Sosena's Story My interest in coding began to blossom during my formative years. Despite facing the challenge of limited access to the internet and not owning a personal computer until university, the allure of becoming a software engineer remained steadfast. Upon joining the university, where I finally gained access to the necessary resources, financial constraints persisted, posing another hurdle. Undeterred, I initiated self-learning endeavors, navigating the complexities of coding independently. The turning point in my coding journey occurred when I discovered the SheCodes Foundation, recognizing it as an unparalleled opportunity to embark on a new career, overcome financial barriers, and pursue my lifelong dream of advancing through coding. This realization prompted an immediate and enthusiastic application to SheCodes.

From the earliest stages of my journey, the dream of becoming a software engineer has been etched into the fabric of my aspirations. Yet, the lack of internet access and a personal computer loomed as formidable barriers. It wasn't until university that I finally had the means to explore this passion further. Despite the financial constraints that persisted, my determination to learn coding remained unwavering. Self-guided efforts, however, proved challenging in navigating the intricate landscape of a new coding journey. SheCodes Foundation is a beacon of opportunity that seems tailor-made for my aspirations. It represents more than just a chance to learn to code; it's a transformative force, a lifeline to realizing my lifelong dream. The financial hurdles that once stood as roadblocks are now overshadowed by the prospect of joining SheCodes.

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.
