Dubai, August 2, 2022 – Guidepoint, a global expert network, announced its commitment to partner with ENGAGE Dubai, a CSR program driven by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to support local communities.

Through this partnership, Guidepoint’s Dubai office will offer guidance, knowledge, and expertise to projects where leadership and administration skills are in great demand—organizing fundraisers, mentoring social enterprises, and providing assistance with reviewing governance processes.

‘’The reality is that multiple global crises continue to impact and affect our societies. Now more than ever, it is crucial to empower our peers to give back to their communities and utilize the skills amassed to drive positive change,’’ said Bilal Sabouni, Guidepoint’s Managing Director and Head of Middle East, North Africa & Turkey. ’’By volunteering through ENGAGE Dubai, we aspire to improve quality of life and build a more sustainable future, one project at a time.’’ added Bilal.

By participating in ENGAGE Dubai, Guidepoint’s employees will help address a range of social and environmental issues, stewarding new projects through to completion. The ENGAGE Dubai initiatives’ timelines differ and can vary from one day to several weeks, depending on their scope and nature, as well as the teams’ involvement and continued efforts.

A total of 66 organizations, 42 corporate members, and 24 community partners participated in activities driven by ENGAGE Dubai last year, contributing to the work carried out by the network to provide humanitarian aid for underprivileged families, educational sessions for children, support for cancer patients, recycling e-waste, paper, plastics, and many other initiatives.
