Lesedi's Story "My interest in coding began when I realized how many of the tools, apps, and websites I use daily were built by people who knew how to code. As someone who’s passionate about making a difference — especially through mental health advocacy and youth empowerment — I became curious about how I could use tech to serve those purposes. I wanted to learn how to bring my own ideas to life, whether that means creating a blog for encouragement, building a website for my future organization Hope and Rise, or designing an app that helps others grow spiritually and emotionally. That curiosity and purpose sparked my desire to explore coding, even though it’s something new to me."

🙋‍♀️ Lesedi's Motivation

"As a graduate with a background in psychology and a passion for personal development, I’ve come to realize how much technology shapes the way we connect, learn, and create impact. I want to learn how to code with SheCodes because I believe coding is a powerful skill that can help me bring my ideas to life — whether it’s building digital platforms for mental health awareness, launching an app for youth development, or supporting the mission of my future organization, Hope and Rise. SheCodes aligns with my values of empowering women and opening doors to innovation, and I’m excited to explore this new world with faith, creativity, and purpose."

🤹‍♀️ Lesedi's Hobbies

"I enjoy a variety of hobbies that help me relax, express myself, and grow. I love reading both Christian devotionals and personal development books, which nourish my spirit and mind. Writing, whether journaling or creating inspirational quotes, is a favorite way I process my thoughts and share encouragement. I also enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, which feels like a creative outlet for me. Music plays a big part in my life—listening to worship songs or uplifting podcasts helps me stay motivated and centered. Lastly, I find joy in spending time with family and friends, and occasionally volunteering or mentoring kids, which brings a deep sense of purpose and connection."

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.
