Ruth's Story I first got interested in coding when I watched a friend create a simple website. It was like watching magic happen—seeing their ideas come to life on the screen was so inspiring! I remember thinking, "I want to do that too." So, I dove into online tutorials and videos. Each time I learned something new, it felt like unlocking a new level in a game. I loved how a few lines of code could make things move or change on the screen. It was like solving little puzzles, and every small victory made me eager to learn more. As I explored, I realized coding is everywhere—in the apps we use and the websites we visit. I wanted to be part of that world and understand how it all works. When I heard about SheCodes, it felt like the perfect opportunity to kickstart my coding journey. I love that it creates a supportive environment for women to learn together. I'm excited to gain new skills, meet others who share my passion, and work on my own projects. To me, coding feels like an exciting adventure, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!

🤹‍♀️ Ruth's Hobbies

I'm really into chess a lot! I love the strategy and critical thinking involved in the game. Each match feels like a new puzzle to solve, and I enjoy analyzing different openings and tactics. It's not just about winning; it's also about learning from each game and improving my skills. Besides chess, I also enjoy exploring new technologies, reading books, and spending time with friends. Whether it's playing board games or going for a hike, I always look for ways to have fun and challenge myself.

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.
