Mesele reflects on the beginning of her own journey, in 2020, when she joined a two-week intensive coding camp with the African Girls Can Code Initiative (AGCCI). The programme, which is run by UN Women in collaboration with the African Union and the International Telecommunication Union, trains young women and girls to become programmers, creators and designers for careers in information and communication technology (ICT).

“When I joined the camp, I was in grade 12, standing at the crossroads of my future career. The camp is the turning point which changed my passion for technology into a clear purpose,” says Mesele. Now an apprentice at the Information Network Security Administration (INSA) of Ethiopia, Mesele is not only proud of her outstanding achievements, but of her ability to give back to her community and country.
