"I want to say a huge thank you to ABSA, Social Coding, and everyone involved in the Shero Program. Because of them, I can now use a laptop confidently, and I hope they continue their amazing work in helping and motivating other learners. I am proud to share that I achieved five distinctions and I will be pursuing a BCom in Financial Accounting at Stellenbosch University."
"I have been trained and recruited as a lead facilitator for the Shero Program. The income I'm receiving from the Shero Program has made a huge difference in my life and my family's life. My sincere gratitude and appreciation to ABSA, Social Coding, and the Shero Program for believing in us especially because we are in rural areas with high unemployment rates."
"I would like to express my deep gratitude to the sponsors of the Shero Program. This program has helped me recognize my potential and understand that I am capable of achieving more than I ever thought possible. They taught us how to use the internet effectively, which allowed me to access past exam papers and improve my studies."
