Esther’s Story

Cohort 3

“Groundbreaker believed in me and shaped who I am today.”

After completing high school with level S.4 in 2022, I had no clear path ahead. In 2023, I joined a bakery course, but towards the end, my dad encouraged me to apply for Groundbreaker.

At first, I knew nothing about software engineering, but the opportunity gave me hope and changed everything. I gained tech and soft skills, learned how to build apps and websites – and grew in confidence.

Today, I have a job and can sustain myself. I’m upgrading my education with the money I earn and can now even support my parents in one way or another. I’ll forever be grateful to Groundbreaker and my sponsors for believing in me and shaping who I am today.
