GirlCode

GirlCode is a registered Non-Profit Organisation (158-642) aimed at empowering young women and girls through technology. Established in 2014 and a Level 1 BBBEE contributor, GirlCode believes that the more women get involved with technology, design, development and leadership, the more successful and diverse companies and their products will be in the future.

Some of our initiatives include the GirlCoder club is a nationwide network of free, volunteer-led, weekend coding clubs designed for primary and high school girls interested in pursuing STEM related careers. We host Career days for the girls, by taking them to different tech companies to give them access to mentors and career advice.

And the GirlCode Hackathon, an annual all women event where I.T students work on building projects based on the UN Sustainable development Goals with the intention of showcasing their skills to future employers.
