Sylvia's Story As an entrepreneur in the tech industry for the past 7 years, I have always been interested in the technical aspects of product development. However, I had not had the opportunity to learn how to code until recently. With the increasing importance of technology in today's job market, I realized that learning to code would be a valuable skill that could help me improve my existing platforms and develop new ones that could create job opportunities for the youth. Additionally, I am passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion in the tech industry, where women are currently underrepresented. I believe that by learning to code, I can help to bridge the gender gap in the industry and create a more inclusive environment. Overall, my interest in coding is driven by both my entrepreneurial spirit and my commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.

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.
