We safeguard the well-being of children, young people and families
The Mannerheim League for Child Welfare (MLL) Helsinki association founded in 1922 is an organisation for children and families. The association supports particularly children, young people and their families in challenging life situations so that their right to a safe childhood, growth and life can be secured. MLL Helsinki operates in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area.
