Boost Local Employment: The agency office will create new job opportunities for residents, contributing to the local economy.
“The opening of the Jumla agency office reflects our commitment to bringing financial security to even the most remote communities in the country,” stated Mr. Nirmal Kaji Shrestha, General Manager of MetLife Nepal.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Empowering Education through Technology
Beyond insurance, MetLife Nepal is investing in the future of Jumla’s youth. In collaboration with the Surya Social Service Society, the company has donated smart boards to two prominent educational institutions:
