Emanda's Story I first became interested in coding after seeing women from programs like SheCodes and African Agility grow from beginners to confident developers building real-world projects. Their stories were inspiring because many of them came from backgrounds like mine — with little access to tech education at first — yet they succeeded with the right support, mentorship, and consistent effort. Before that, I always thought tech was only for people who studied it in university or had special resources. But watching those women share their projects, attend events, and even become mentors made me realize that I, too, could start small and grow. It showed me that coding is something I can learn — and that I can one day use it to solve problems in my community. Now I want to follow in their footsteps — to learn, build, and eventually help other young women who feel left out of tech opportunities. I’m not only interested in coding for a job, but also for the long-term impact I can have by being part of a bigger movement that empowers women in technology. Seeing their journey helped me believe in my own.

🙋‍♀️ Emanda's Motivation

I want to gain real coding skills so I can begin a meaningful career in tech and become financially independent. Technology is one of the few fields where creativity, problem-solving, and global opportunities come together. I see coding as a tool not just for earning an income, but also for building solutions that can make a real difference in people’s lives — especially in underserved communities. In my country, many young women still don’t believe a tech career is possible for them. Lack of access, resources, and role models often hold them back. That’s why I want to learn deeply, grow confidently, and eventually give back by supporting other women who want to break into tech. My goal is not only to work in tech but to help build a supportive tech community for women where we can learn together, share resources, and grow as developers, designers, and creators. Programs like SheCodes inspire me because they open doors to people like me — people with motivation but limited financial means. With the right support, I believe I can succeed and also help others do the same. This opportunity would be a powerful step toward that dream.

The Delac 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 Delac 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.
