Manchester Aid to Kosovo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manchester Aid to Kosovo (MAK) is a Manchester based charity dedicated to providing aid and support to Kosovo Albanians.
[edit] History
MAK was started by five Manchester men in a pub. Their response to the unfolding reportsof ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, caught the imagination of the Greater Manchester people. Within two weeks a convoy of 300 tonnes of aid was on its way from Manchester to Kosovo Albanians in refugee camps in Albania. 850,000 Kosovo Albanians fled the province. Within a year MAK transported a 1,000 tons of crisis aid to the region; MAK is committed to supporting the recovery of Kosovo Albanians in both Kosovo and in the United Kingdom. Kosovo is presently under administration by the United Nations.
