Liya's Story When i was in eleventh grade our IT teacher started basic javascript class and that is when i thought about coding.my interest in coding grew when I saw my IT teacher as a role model.He would share stories of how coding could create opportunities and change lives, and his passion was contagious. During one of his classes, he showed us how to build a simple website, and I was amazed at how something I created could have a real impact. His encouragement made me believe that I, too, could learn to code and use it to make a difference in my community. Seeing his dedication and the way he empowered students like me made me realize that coding isn’t just about technology—it’s about creating a better future. Through time I understood that coding means much more than punching in alphabets and numerals, It is a way of crafting solutions to our deep rooted problems as a community, bith nationally and internationally.

My motivation for Learning how to code is as an electrical engineering student, especially as a woman from a developing country, is more than just acquiring a technical skill it’s about unlocking my potential and creating opportunities for myself and for my community. As an electrical enginiering student i want to widen my scope beyond the hardware and go deep in to the software world and close the gaps in my community.I want to design smart systems that solve local challenges, like improving access to healthcare, while also it opens doors to global job markets and financial independence. And I want to inspire other women, and contribute to innovation in ways that are deeply personal and impactful. It’s not just about writing lines of code;not about sitting in front of screen it’s about building a future and make a difference, both in my field and in the lives of those around me.I also want to mentor my peers to join the uprising tech revolution.

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.
