ABF is one of several educational associations that will receive less money for their activities in the coming years, following a decision by the Tidö parties.
In Södertälje and Nykvarn, parts of ABF’s work consist of supporting the large Ukrainian group in entering society. This includes, among other things, language training.
Ellie Mekh fled Ukraine with her mother. For her, ABF has helped make her dream come true. When leaders in the union heard about Ellie’s situation, they lent her drums and made it possible for her to play.
– It is only the music that has kept me afloat for 2.5 years, it has been tough, says the Nykvarns resident.
