Lerato 's Story I'm excited to share my story. I first became interested in coding when I was browsing online and stumbled upon a website that offered free coding tutorials. I was curious about how websites were built and wanted to learn more. Initially, I tried coding as a hobby, but soon realized its potential for career growth and creativity. I started with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and gradually moved on to more advanced languages like Python and Java. My interest in coding grew exponentially when I joined online communities, like GitHub and Stack Overflow, where I connected with fellow coders, learned from their experiences, and showcased my projects. Now, I'm eager to expand my skills in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science. Coding has opened doors to new opportunities, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me!

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.
