About Us
MumsWhoCode was initiated in 2020 as a peer-learning group for women with parental responsibilities across Africa learning about coding.
Globally, women are highly underrepresented in the tech industry, only making up about 30% of the entire tech workforce in Africa. Unfortunately, statistics have shown that as women begin to raise families, investing in their professional skills ad careers decline.
While raising family is a beautiful gift, we also believe that the future employment landscape will thrive with the inclusion of women, especially mothers.
At MumsWhoCode, we are committed to preparing women for this moment by providing high quality learning opportunities and career support in tech, so no one is left behind.
Over the last 5 years, 3000+ women including mums from 18 African countries have joined us and gained knowledge across different tech fields.
Our Mission
MumsWhoCode exists to facilitate the entry, retention and career advancement of women especially mothers in the tech landscape by providing free and paid learning programs as well as personalized toolkit for women skills and professional development.
