MetLife Foundation

In 2021, US$50,000 was provided to America Nepal Medical Foundation’s (ANMF) efforts to provide essential medical care to vulnerable people impacted by the second wave of COVID-19 crisis in Nepal. With the support, ANMF were able to provide medical supplies including but not limited to oxygen concentrators, high flows and other essential equipment to healthcare facilities from isolation centers to different hospitals in various parts of Nepal.

In Nepal, the Foundation financed a US$44,000 grant to Plan International Nepal to reach the vulnerable groups in communities impacted by COVID-19. Plan Nepal supported poor and vulnerable families who had lost their source of income and depend on agriculture in Banke district, by providing them with seeds and fertilizers for quick cash crops and vegetables to grow at home, as well as offering access to traditional farming tools.

MetLife Foundation committed $25 million to the global response to COVID-19 in support of communities impacted by the pandemic. The grant funding from MetLife Foundation will span all regions where MetLife operates, and will address both short- and longer-term relief efforts.
