It’s our goal to teach 50,000 South African Women how to code

👩‍💻
SheCodes will teach 50,000 South African Women to code for free through the Delac Foundation.

It's estimated only 23% of all tech jobs in South Africa are held by women. A recent survey of women in the tech industry found that 44% were paid less than their male colleagues. While there has been a steady increase of female participation in the tech sector, the educational outlook is not promising. South African women constitute only 13% of all students with undergraduate degrees in engineering, science and technology.

The SheCodes Foundation provides free coding classes to help women in South Africa develop key skills, break into the tech sector and work for companies that are based anywhere in the world. Apply today to get started.

Testimonials

What Alumni think of SheCodes

5/5 - Highly recommended

I thoroughly enjoyed SheCodes Basics, it was the best introduction for me as a beginner. I highly recommend the program to anyone who would be interested in learning how to code.

5/5 - Highly recommended

SheCodes has been really a blessing to my learning journey. Matt is really a good teacher, breaks down concepts into bite sized chunks that do not make a student feel panicked. I used to feel like programming was only for a certain caliber of smart people and I used to think I was not smart enough for it. Until I came across SheCodes the best workshop I have been able to journey with and learn from.

5/5 - Highly recommended

I absolutely love the SheCodes Basics Course. I have always been intimidated by coding but this course made everything so easy to understand and I enjoyed the challenges.

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.

Hi everyone,

I’m Matt, CEO at SheCodes.

I’m excited to present this project we've been thinking about since starting SheCodes.

The aim is to offer SheCodes workshops at no cost to women living in select developing countries who are facing serious financial and educational challenges.

When I started SheCodes, it was a non-profit. During our past onsite workshops, I always mentioned that my ultimate goal for SheCodes was to open a school providing free education. I’m happy to turn this initial idea into a reality.

This is the beginning of something that will hopefully have an impact on many women.

The Foundation will be financed entirely by SheCodes Workshops, 10% of profits will be used to offer support to more women around the world. If you want to contribute, feel free to purchase SheCodes Workshops for yourself, friends, or family members.

SheCodes will remain paid, yet affordable in developed countries so we can keep offering quality training while expanding globally.

Thanks so much for being part of SheCodes. Together, we’re making an impact.
