On February 6th and 7th, 2026, the quiet surroundings of the Eriot Recreation Centre in Gayaza became a hub of strategic thinking and professional growth. Staff from the Anthill Foundation and Central Girls Vocational School (CGVS) gathered for a comprehensive two-day in-house training under the theme: “Resource Mobilization & Strategic Donor Mapping, Communication, Proposal Excellence, and building Corporate Partnerships”. The training was a proactive step toward bridging the gap between daily school operations and long-term organizational growth.
The workshop brought together administrative, technical, and vocational departments to break down “silos” and strengthen internal synergy. By aligning these diverse teams, CGVS continues to position itself as a leading institution for quality education and social development in Uganda.
