A student from rural Ghana has earned a spot in an international coding program. Christabel Gegefe attends Adaklu Goefe DA Junior High School. She will join the Girls Who Code Summer Programme with five other local students. The program runs from June 30 through August 8. Friends of Adaklu sponsors her participation.
Christabel earned her place through strong performance in a regional technology competition. The Ministry of Communications organized the Girls in ICT event across Volta Region. She finished first at her local center. The experience motivated her to pursue website design as a career. She hopes to win the competition next year.
Her coding journey started with the Friends of Adaklu Digital Learning Programme. She learned Scratch programming, HTML, CSS and Python languages. These skills helped her join the girls coding club at school. Teachers describe her as smart and quick to learn new concepts. She helps classmates and teachers with computer tasks.
The international program connects young women aged 15 to 18 with coding instructors worldwide. Students work in small groups through video calls. Local teachers provide extra help when needed. Participants create their websites and earn certificates. Past students have built sites for family businesses.
Friends of Adaklu Country Director Stella Kudah praised Christabel's dedication to learning. The organization plans to expand digital education beyond Adaklu district. Students who complete basic education can join the free program. Christabel continues working hard despite not winning the recent competition.
