The UAE Lottery, The Philippine Consulate General, and Infinite Communities Support Filipino Expats Through SAGIP Initiative

SAGIP community outreach initiative combines career coaching, wellness assessments, counselling, and essential relief support for those navigating challenging circumstances.

Reinforcing its commitment to creating meaningful social impact through its H.O.P.E. CSR program, The UAE Lottery, operated by The Game LLC, a Momentum Group company, took part in the SAGIP Initiative in partnership with the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai and Northern Emirates and Infinite Communities on 28 June, 2026 at the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai.

SAGIP, which stands for “Rescue” in Filipino, aims to provide immediate and practical assistance to members of the Filipino community.

Delivered in collaboration with the Philippine Consulate General and Infinite Communities, the initiative offered career coaching, counselling, wellness assessments, and facilitated the distribution of essential grocery packs, providing both immediate relief and longer-term support to the Filipino community.

The initiative was further strengthened by the voluntary contributions of local Filipino businesses, human resources practitioners, medical and healthcare professionals, psychologists, and community volunteers, helping deliver a holistic and person-centred support programme for beneficiaries.

Commenting on the initiative, Consul Aleah Marie Gica said: “The Filipino community in the UAE has always demonstrated resilience and unity during difficult times. Community outreach programs such as SAGIP reflect the strength of collaboration between institutions and community organisations working together to support those most in need.”

Elena C. Cruz, Founder and CEO of Infinite Communities, added: “Through our Good Neighbour initiative and our collaboration with The UAE Lottery and the Philippine Consulate, we hope to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with dignity and confidence.”

Suzan Kazzi, Associate Director of CSR at Momentum – The UAE Lottery, said: “At a time when many members of the Filipino community are facing various challenges, we aim to provide not only immediate relief through grocery pack distribution, but also pathways toward resilience and renewed opportunities. Through our HR specialists who volunteered their time and expertise, the career coaching sessions were designed to help beneficiaries navigate uncertainty, regain confidence, and reconnect with employment opportunities through practical advice and guidance.”

Through H.O.P.E, which focuses on Healthcare, Opportunities, Planet and Enrichment, The UAE Lottery continues to demonstrate its commitment to developing socially responsible initiatives that contribute positively to various communities across the UAE.
