It’s our goal to teach 1,000 Gambian Women how to code

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»
SheCodes will teach 1,000 Gambian Women to code for free through the SheCodes Foundation.

Many girls in Gambia have the opportunity to be educated to primary level, but most drop out before completing secondary education. Only a quarter of all women in Gambia have completed secondary school. Many young women don't complete their education due to pressure to start a family, to find work (usually in domestic roles), and a lack of infrastructure in the education system. Many schools are remote and lack enough teaching staff for all students.

The SheCodes Foundation offers free coding classes to women in Gambia as an opportunity to develop their digital education and find well-paid work. Apply today to get started.

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.

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.
