Established in 1910 in Manila, Insular Life (known

as InLife) is a leading life insurer in the Philippines,

and also operates a health maintenance organization,

InLife Health Care. In 2018, InLife partnered with the

International Finance Corporation (IFC), supported by

the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi),

to develop a strategy for becoming the insurer and

employer of choice for Filipino women.

In 2019, this partnership created the InLife Sheroes Program.

The program has developed innovative life and health insurance

solutions for individual women and women-owned businesses,

digital distribution channels, and partnerships with other

organizations empowering Filipino women. In 2020, in light of

the devastating COVID-19 virus, InLife adapted its approach

to better support women as they navigate the personal and

financial implications of the pandemic. InLife also increased

its digital presence and outreach, which has further solidified

and demonstrated its commitment to women.
