HABIBA's Story I first became interested in coding when I was in grade nine. It was the first time I learned about programming languages, and I was immediately fascinated. My IT teacher explained how they work how simple lines of code could control systems, build websites, and create real solutions. That moment sparked something in me. I remember feeling deeply inspired and curious to know more. It was then that I realized I wanted to explore programming seriously and make it part of my future. That early experience is what motivated me to pursue Software Engineering at university. Even now, every time I learn something new in coding, I remember that moment in grade nine that first made me excited about this field.

🙋‍♀️ HABIBA's Motivation

I am currently a second year Software Engineering student. Coding inspires me because it turns ideas into real solutions. I love how a few lines of code can create websites, apps, or tools that impact people’s lives. It feels like learning a new language that gives you the power to build, solve problems, and create change especially in places where opportunities are limited. That’s what excites me the most. I’m working hard to understand the core concepts of my field. One area I find most challenging is programming, and I believe that joining SheCodes will help me strengthen my skills in a structured and practical way. Learning through this program would complement my university education and give me the confidence I need to grow as a future developer. I’ve been inspired by the women who have graduated from SheCodes and now work at respected companies. I would be honored to join this journey and become part of a global community of strong, skilled women in tech. In the future, I hope to mentor girls in my community and support other women just as SheCodes has empowered me to pursue my goals.

🤹‍♀️ HABIBA's Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy exploring tech through coding tutorials and challenges, which help me improve my skills. I also like reading about personal growth and spirituality, journaling, video editing, and helping others learn. These activities keep me motivated and balanced in both my personal and academic life.

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.
