Hong Kong is home to approximately 350,000 migrant domestic workers, many of whom have limited access to financial security beyond basic health and injury coverage. Sun Life's contribution aims to support Uplifters expand its outreach, offering financial literacy courses and raising awareness about financial planning for this community.
David Broom, chief client and distribution officer of Sun Life Asia, highlighted the importance of financial literacy in empowering migrant domestic workers. "At Sun Life, empowering communities through financial literacy is a cornerstone of our mission in Asia. We're thrilled to collaborate with Uplifters on a pioneering initiative supporting foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong, leveraging our experience in Hong Kong, Indonesia and the Philippines," he said.
