December for Women
Who Code 2024
Formerly known as December for Women Who Code, the CodeBridge Fellowship is a nine-month program designed to empower African women to thrive in the digital age. This fellowship is more than a training initiative, it’s a movement to dismantle financial barriers, a core obstacle preventing women from fully participating in technology
Did you know that African women are significantly less likely than men to own a computer or have consistent internet access? At Because She Can, we are bridging this gap, one girl, one laptop at a time.
