Feenix CEO Cara-Jean Petersen and Yusrah Adams, our Finance Controller, had the privilege of attending the “Empowering NPOs to Maximize Resources and Drive Impact” workshop hosted by Turning Point Chartered Accountants SA.   The workshop delved into some of the most pressing financial management and administrative challenges faced by NPOs, providing actionable insights, affordable solutions, and best practices to empower teams to focus on their causes while ensuring robust governance and compliance. Reza Amra CA(SA) Director of Risk and Compliance at Turning Point, summed it up perfectly: "Our time is finite, both in a day and in our life. Tech needs to help free up valuable time so your time goes toward things you are passionate about and so that your team can focus on contributing in a valuable way toward the cause of your NPO." A big thank you to Turning Point for hosting this impactful session. It’s inspiring to see professionals dedicated to supporting the nonprofit sector in achieving both efficiency and impact.  #Feenix #NPOLeadership #GoodGovernance #MaximizingImpact #TurningPoint #NPO #NonProfitOrganisation #DrivingImpact

A heartfelt thank you to our inspiring guest speakers who have been instrumental in empowering our Feenix students through our Beyond Boundaries Masterclass series. Feenix invited students to attend virtual masterclasses that covered essential topics from building leadership skills, navigating job applications, and acing interviews, to cultivating a growth mindset and avoiding burnout, each session was packed with invaluable insights. Students gained practical tools to lead from within, tailor their resumes for standout applications, stay resilient through challenges, and prioritize mental well-being. "What I found most valuable about the sessions was how each one provided practical tools that I could apply immediately." - Tsoelopele Cyril Qhetso, Student at  Walter Sisulu University. By fostering self-awareness and encouraging supportive connections, you’ve helped students not only prepare for their careers but also thrive personally. Thank you for being a vital part of our community’s journey to success and growth pushing beyond boundaries!
