Code to Inspire (CTI) is the first coding academy for girls in Herat, Afghanistan. Ithas given more than 100 female students the skills and confidence to code, build apps, and generate work opportunities for themselves. CTI believes in giving these young tech entrepreneurs the latest skills including classes in Web Development, Game Development, Mobile Application Development and Graphic Design.
Currently we have 50 female students enrolled and receiving daily lessons in our coding school in Herat, Afghanistan. Code to Inspire supports women’s economic empowerment, not only by giving students the ability to support themselves economically, but by giving them the leadership skills to challenge gender norms that hold back women’s economic empowerment throughout Afghanistan. The entire initiative is an opportunity for learning by doing.
