How I partnered with an Afghan NGO to grow women engineers (opens in new tab)

Thanks! Huge fan of Pragmatic Engineer's blog post. There are plenty of paid mentorship programs listed, which is totally different from what we are looking for as we're trying to build a mentorship program that's free for our developers (and ofc we will pay the mentors). But paid mentorship with exclusivity is not reaaally what we're looking for as they're structured very differently.

The free ones seems cool, gonna check them out and probably reach out to folks there.

Imo the typical “women in tech” issues only really applies to US (and maybe some other typical western countries). It’s really different elsewhere, case in point in Afghanistan.

Hope that the small things we’re doing at GitStart can break down the barriers of language, merit, class, culture, and political situation and let anyone who wants to learn coding can learn, and those who want to make money from it can!
