Lesly Marquez- Disadvantaged girls change their communities by learning to code

Summery:

Makoko is known as the largest "floating sum" built on a lagoon in Lagos Nigeria.It contains many rickety shacks that stand on stilts on polluted water and canous that transport through the maze of narrow canals.Lagos is a thriving economy built on oil, finance, and manufacturing.The city is now considered Nigeria's Silicon Valley, with Facebook and Google opening offices there earlier this year.
This article basically informs us that girls in Africa believe that men shouldn't be the one to too all the hard work or dominate the technology industry. Abisoye Ajayi-Akinfolarian a computer programer said that when she first visited Moko she was surprised to see the condition of human beings "Most girls are trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. Many of them are not thinking education, a plan for the future."In 2012 a free program called GirlsCoding was made by Pearls Africa Foundation to educate and excite girls about programming.Now girls are creating their own programs and solving problems too. These girls all have future plans and love coding and working with technology. This program has been around for not so long but will continue to help girls out.It is in fact spreading out into more states in Africa.

I think its is amazing that this program exist.Girls have more opportunities now and thats great. I don't think men should do all the hard work  and I believe women can do just as much as the men.We can do it all! I love that this program because of the opportunities its giving these young girls. They are able to change their community. I like that a lot of these girls are happy that they got this program and they seem to be very happy with what they are learning. This just comes to show that there are still other places around the world who are still struggling with the equality of women.Both men and women should be equal.
