The entire Albanian village built on British cash: Welcome to Muzhak where EVERY family has a relative sending money home to pay for their comfortable houses - after leaving to earn six times what they can in their own country
his is the tiny village in the Albanian hills where the comfortable, modern houses have all been built on money sent home by migrants illegally entering Britain. Picturesque Muzhak has a population of around 1,200 - and in every family there has at least one member - and in some cases up to three - living in the UK. Over the last 15 years at least 300 of young people born and raised in Muzhak have left the village, which is around two hours north of the capital Tirana, for the UK using trucks, boats and planes for what they say is a 'better life' - and earn six times the wages on offer in Albania. And with the money they have earned in Britain they have helped fund the construction of dozens of new houses - replacing one storey buildings for lavish three floor homes with central heating.
