Happy's Story I first became interested in coding when I noticed how technology is behind almost everything we use daily — from the apps we rely on to the systems that make our lives easier. I’ve always enjoyed solving problems and finding efficient ways to do things, so discovering that coding allows you to build practical solutions from scratch immediately caught my attention. My curiosity grew when I started exploring simple tech tools and realized how websites and applications are created. I loved the idea that with the right skills, I could turn my ideas into real, functioning projects. Coding combines creativity, logic, and innovation in a way that feels both challenging and exciting. As I experimented with beginner tutorials and small projects, I found that programming encourages patience, critical thinking, and continuous learning — skills that I value. It made me want to learn properly and gain a strong foundation instead of just experimenting on my own. That’s why SheCodes appeals to me. It offers structured guidance, a supportive community of women, and practical lessons that build confidence. I want to develop the ability to create meaningful digital solutions, explore opportunities in tech, and open doors to a career that is both flexible and future-focused.

🙋‍♀️ Happy's Motivation

My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes comes from a desire to expand my problem-solving skills and gain practical digital literacy that complements my legal and research background. Technology increasingly shapes every field — including law and social impact work — and I want to understand how to use coding to design smarter, more efficient solutions. SheCodes, in particular, appeals to me because it creates a supportive environment for women to learn coding in an accessible, hands-on way. I’m motivated by the idea of not just learning a new technical skill, but also joining a community of women who are innovating, creating, and using technology to make a difference. Ultimately, I want to be able to apply coding skills to develop tools or platforms that make legal information and resources more accessible to the public.

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.
