Malawi Link


Hampton School has an established link with Malawi.

Several years ago a group of teachers from Hampton travelled through Senga Bay and met Sam Luddick a villager who was doing all he could to help orphaned and abused children in the local community. This was the foundation of the ongoing link between Hampton School and Senga Bay. Hampton School raised funds to build the 'Hampton Safe Haven' in the village of Cool Runnings in the Senga Bay area which offers children a safe place to go and teaches them essential life skills. Students and staff from Hampton School regularly travel to the Malawi to visit the Safe Haven and help with teaching the children and with all the practical tasks such as building, painting, clearing ground, building fences, repairing playground equipment and collecting water. 

Boys in the Sixth Form are also able to visit the Malawi as part of an Adventure Society trip. The purpose is to introduce the boys to a variety of cultures and enable them to put their skills to use in helping the local communities. They also enjoy a wide range of fun and challenging activities >>Trip Report 2010
 
Boys are also able to use the Malawi links to organise their Gap Year. For more information on a Gap Year in Africa please >> click here
