Kgothatso's Story Honestly, it started with a simple tutorial. I was just playing around, trying to figure out how websites are made, and I followed a video on HTML and CSS. When I saw that I could actually change how a page looked just by typing in a few lines of code, it felt kind of magical. Like, wait, I did that? I didn’t understand everything, but I loved the feeling of creating something out of nothing. That little moment made me curious, and that curiosity never really left. Since then, I’ve been exploring coding bit by bit, and I’ve realized it’s way more than just typing code, it’s a tool. A tool that could open doors for me. I want to build things, solve real-world problems, and have the kind of skills that give me freedom financially, creatively, and even personally.

🙋‍♀️ Kgothatso's Motivation

I’m drawn to coding not just because it’s a powerful tool in today’s world, but because I’ve always been curious about how things work behind the scenes, things like, apps, websites, and the tech that keeps our digital world alive. I want to move from just using technology to creating with it. What excites me about SheCodes is the focus on empowering women like me to enter a space that still feels too male-dominated. I want to prove to myself and others that I can build, solve problems, and bring ideas to life through code. I’m not afraid to be a beginner; I just don’t want to stay one.

🤹‍♀️ Kgothatso's Hobbies

For fun, I love dancing and playing basketball, they keep me active and let me express myself. I also enjoy writing and reading, especially when I want to slow down and reflect. Lately, I’ve been getting into programming too, it’s like solving creative puzzles, and I genuinely enjoy the challenge.

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.
