MetLife Foundation Annual Report 2015

MetLife Foundation works in both developing and developed economies to expand and improve financial services. We fund approaches that help low- and moderate-income people: improve basic cash flow management, prepare for life’s inevitable challenges, take advantage of opportunities, achieve their short- and long-term goals.
