Zainab's Story My interest in coding began during a computer science class in secondary school. We were learning the basics of programming, and our teacher introduced us to Scratch, a visual programming language. The idea of creating something from scratch, even if it was just a simple game or animation, fascinated me. I remember the excitement of seeing my first project come to life on the screen, moving characters and interacting with the code I had written. It felt like I had unlocked a new way of thinking. As I delved deeper into coding, I realized that it wasn't just about making things move on a screen—it was about solving problems and thinking critically. I started exploring other programming languages like Python, which opened up even more possibilities. I enjoyed the challenge of debugging code and the satisfaction of finding a solution after hours of effort. The more I learned, the more I saw how coding could be applied in various fields, from game development to science and even art. This versatility and the ability to create something impactful with just a few lines of code is what truly captured my interest and motivated me to pursue coding further.

This practical application is crucial to me, as it allows for immediate feedback and growth. Moreover, coding opens up endless opportunities in various fields such as web development, data analysis, and even healthcare. By acquiring these skills, I aim to contribute to meaningful projects that can make a difference in people’s lives. Ultimately, my motivation lies in the pursuit of knowledge, the thrill of solving complex problems, and the potential to contribute positively to society through technology.

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.
