Manchester Aid to Kosovo (MAK) is a Manchester based charity dedicated to providing aid and support to the people of Kosovo.

 

MAK was started by five Manchester men in a pub. Their response to the unfolding news about 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 evicted Kosovars in Albanian Refugee Camps. 850,000 Kosovars were forcibly evicted from their country. Within a year MAK transported a 1,000 tons of crisis aid to the region. The legacy of war and attempted genocide is long term. As such MAK is committed to supporting the recovery of Kosovars in both Kosovo and the U.K.
