And we know why: because our work isas much about quantity, as it is about quality. We scale ourprograms to reach more girls in more places, and give themthe chance to forge lifelong bonds so they may persist incomputer science.90KGirls from all 50 states1
LETTER FROM RESHMAIt’s incredible. But for us, parity is really just the beginning.We’ve reached a moment unmatched in our history,a moment as full of anger and anguish as it is promise andpotential. Women and girls across the country are comingtogether to correct centuries-long power imbalancesacross lines of gender, race, sexuality, and more.Girls Who Code is proud to be a part of this movement,and even prouder because our girls - girls of all racesand ethnicities and abilities and zip codes - are leading it.They are solving problems in their communities,empowering their friends, and defining the futureof our world.We’re thrilled to be giving them the tools they needto get there.I hope you’ll join us and make sure every girl has thechance to change her world - our world - for the better.Thank you for your support.RESHMA SAUJANICEO AND FOUNDER, GIRLS WHO CODE2
