Yonela's Story My journey into coding began with a curiosity about how technology works. Growing up, I was fascinated by the way websites and apps could solve real-world problems and make life easier. This curiosity led me to explore online resources and tutorials, where I discovered the world of coding. As I delved deeper, I was drawn to the creativity and logic that coding requires. I enjoyed the challenge of breaking down complex problems into manageable parts and finding innovative solutions. My interest in coding grew, and I began to see the potential for coding to drive positive change in various industries. This spark of interest has grown into a passion, and I'm excited to continue learning and growing as a coder. The SheCodes Foundation program is an incredible opportunity for me to develop my skills, build my confidence, and pursue a career in tech.

🙋‍♀️ Yonela's Motivation

I'm excited to apply for the SheCodes Foundation program because I'm passionate about bridging the tech gap and empowering women in technology. My motivation for learning how to code stems from a desire to challenge myself and acquire skills that will enable me to make a meaningful impact. As a self-taught learner, I've always been fascinated by the endless possibilities that technology offers. However, I've noticed the significant underrepresentation of women in tech, and I believe that SheCodes is taking a crucial step in addressing this issue. Through this program, I hope to gain a solid foundation in coding skills, build confidence in my abilities, and connect with like-minded women who share my passion for tech. Ultimately, I aim to leverage my newfound skills to drive positive change, whether through building innovative solutions, mentoring others, or advocating for greater diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. Thank you for considering my application. I'm eager to embark on this journey with SheCodes and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable tech ecosystem.

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.
