Feenix is a Public Benefit Organisation which originated in June 2017 after the #FeesMustFall movement that spread across campuses in South Africa during 2015 and 2016.
They support students with avoiding an accumulation of debt which would have brought about issues while they pursue their studies.
They encourage students to access their community and work together to achieve students goals. Being a part of 'the middle' has students not being eligible for bursaries at the time but Feenix can assist these students.
