WeCode Rwanda is a free or subsidized coding training program for women, backed by Moringa School's curriculum and GIZ (German development agency) funding. It teaches software development fundamentals through a structured program. Quality is solid based on Moringa's established training model. Like SheCanCODE, it is restricted to women and runs in cohorts with limited spots. If you qualify and it is currently accepting applications, it is one of the strongest free options in Rwanda alongside SheCanCODE.
A strong free option for women, backed by Moringa School's proven curriculum. Availability varies by cohort cycle.

WeCode brings Moringa School's software development curriculum to Rwandan women with GIZ funding. Moringa School is a well-known coding training provider in East Africa (originally based in Kenya) with a structured, project-based curriculum.
The curriculum typically covers web development fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and possibly a framework like React or Ruby on Rails (depending on the Moringa curriculum version used). The program is designed for beginners with no prior coding experience.
The GIZ backing means the program has institutional support and is less likely to shut down mid-cohort due to funding issues, which can be a risk with smaller independent bootcamps.
Both programs target women in Rwanda and offer free or subsidized training. The main differences:
Our recommendation: apply to both. They are both strong programs. Whichever accepts you first or has the next available intake is the one to take. If neither is currently accepting applications, start with freeCodeCamp or McTaba's Tech Foundations (approximately RWF 30,000) while you wait.
