Kgomotso's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized it was a way to turn imagination into something real and to express myself freely, a friend introduced me to it. Writing my first program felt like unlocking a new language that lets me create, solve problems and make an impact while being creative. Coding gives me a sense of empowerment and purpose and every time I learn something new and write code, I am reminded why I fell in love with it in the first place.

🙋‍♀️ Kgomotso's Motivation

Learning how to code with SheCodes would motivate me because it offers an inclusive and supportive environment where I can learn, grow, and gain confidence in a traditionally male dominated field. The opportunity to be surrounded by like-minded women and being guided by mentors who understand the challenges and successes unique to women in tech is honestly empowering. Such a community fosters collaboration over competition, helping me build valuable networks and lifelong friendships while developing practical as well as in-demand technical skills. Beyond personal growth, I’d be contributing to a greater purpose of helping close the gender gap in technology and inspiring other women to pursue their passions in coding and innovation.

🤹‍♀️ Kgomotso's Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy activities that let me express creativity and keep learning. I love exploring new technologies, building small coding projects and experimenting with design or problem-solving challenges. Outside of tech, I enjoy reading, listening to music and spending time outdoors hiking and jogging to recharge and find inspiration. I also like connecting with people who share similar interests and exchanging ideas that spark curiosity and growth.

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.
