Some opportunities change your career.
Others change how you see yourself.
For Naafiah, CodeGirls became both — a place where learning turned into confidence and where she now helps other women take their first steps into tech.
From student to Training Assistant, her journey reflects the power of growth, community, and believing that it’s never too late to build something new.
“Before joining CodeGirls, I worked in customer service and tech support roles, but I was searching for something more meaningful. When I saw the CodeGirls program, I knew I wanted a challenge and a career I could be proud of.
Completing Phase 1 and Phase 2 opened a new path for me. What made the journey even more special was the opportunity to become a Training Assistant and help other women learn the same skills.
CodeGirls has helped me grow not only professionally but personally as well. Today I feel more confident, focused, and motivated to keep learning while supporting other women who want to step into tech.” — Naafiah Abrahams ~ Training Assistant & PR Assistant - CodeGirls South Africa
