We believe in investing in work that has both broad and deep impact in improving #equity and #inclusion. The codeHive program has been a massive driving force in pushing this forward, allowing young women to access decent work and live fullfiling lives. #SheBuilds #SheServes #SheLeads

Women make up 65% of the total number of mobile game consumers in the world. However, only 5% of game developers are women. By partnering with AkiraChix, Usiku Games is ensuring young women get the exposure they need to see themselves as #developers and not just consumers; codeHive graduates can get free access to the Nairobi Game Development Center and the opportunity to interact and learn from professional game developers. The good this will do cannot be overstated. #Gaming #Womeningaming #SheBuilds #SheServes #SheLeads

Fact: Educated women seldom marry young and are seen to lead more healthy and meaningful lives. They can understand and mindfully engage with the world around them and take on leadership roles.  #SheBuilds #SheServes #SheLeads

Can you imagine what it would be like to experience different cultures and make lifelong friends all while learning different programing languages? That’s what it’s like in the #codeHive program.

Here is something you should know; ambition, and intellectual curiosity know no #gender boundaries. Inspiring stories from our alumni illuminate how diverse voices and perspectives propel innovation further when freely contributed without suppression.

A career in #tech starts with education. With access to the right resources and a supportive culture, women have proven to be just as good at technology as men. #Shebuilds #SheServes #SheLeads

We are attentive to the voices of refugees! Reflecting on the past few years, we are proud of our growing community from #Sudan #SouthSudan #Burundi #DRC and #Somalia. As we celebrate #WorldRefugeeDay, with our partner; Windle International Kenya, we recommit to continue supporting young women from the refugee community to rebuild their lives with hope for a better tommorow. #WorldRefugeeDay

Simply giving women opportunities to work and earn would see our #globaleconomy skyrocket! It makes sense — if we unlock the economic power of half the world’s population, we can kick-start a revolution that makes the world a more prosperous place. It’s a smart move to invest in women. #SheBuild #SheServes #SheLeads #womeneconomicempowerment

We love the challenge of ensuring young women can participate fully in #economicspaces. Over the years, codeHive has allowed us to push forward internationally agreed goals for #development and #sustainability, and improve the quality of life for women, families, and communities. #SheBuilds #SheServes #SheLeads #Inclusion #womenintech #subsaharanafrica

Looking back at the launch of codeHiveX: a co-led initiative where professional networks flourish, and the foundational spirit of the alma mater continues to inspire. We are excited to see just how impactful the program will be to the young women post-graduation! #SheBuilds #SheServes #SheLeads
