Spirit of Ramadan: UAE Lottery brings its first-ever iftar to 1,000 workers
Initiative aligns with Year of the Family and national priorities
ABU DHABI – The UAE Lottery yesterday hosted a special Ramadan iftar for 1,000 members of the blue-collar community, offering an evening of togetherness and reflection on the spirit of the holy month.
The initiative highlights the organisation’s commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and support for the communities it serves.
Aligned with the UAE’s Year of the Family and the essence of Ramadan, the iftar marks the first outreach of its kind by the UAE Lottery. The event was held in collaboration with the SmartLife Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the lives of blue-collar workers, particularly those living in labour accommodations across the UAE.

Suzan Kazzi, Associate Director of CSR at Momentum – The UAE Lottery, said: “Many of the individuals we are hosting for this iftar spend this holy month far from their families while working hard to build a better future for their loved ones. Sharing a meal together is a simple but meaningful way to show appreciation and ensure they feel valued, supported, and part of a larger community.”
