Testimonials

MicroWorkspace is more than just a classroom for learning; it's a vibrant community of inspiring individuals who fuel my passion and drive for coding. Through this programme, I've not only gained knowledge but also found the empowerment to apply the programming languages I've learned. This transformation has taken me from pretending to be a coder to becoming a confident and skilled developer.

The skills I gained through the MicroWorkspace program empowered me to successfully launch my own tech business. As a single mother who was previously working as a security guard, I harnessed the opportunities provided by Impact Hub Harare's MicroWorkspace program to transition into the tech industry and launch my own thriving business. This experience has truly transformed my life, and I am grateful for the support and resources that made this possible.
