Warm Greetings



During Jackie's last trip to India in November 2025, she was warmly greeted by the Headmaster and Teachers of the Mallampet School, who were grateful and very excited in anticipation of the much needed new facility.

Showcasing Schoolwork



It is customary in India to stand as a sign of respect when a visitor enters the classroom. As shown above, the children welcomed Jackie warmly. Despite challenging learning conditions, the primary school students were eager to demonstrate their reading and writing skills.

Building Replacement



This existing school building must be completely replaced. It is heavily affected by mold, both inside and outside. Mold poses serious health risks and can cause severe illness, particularly in children. Even with the windows open, the odor inside the classrooms is difficult to tolerate.

Mold Remediation

As shown in this “before” photo, mold is caused by cracks in the roof and overhanging tree limbs.

When it rains, the absence of a runoff system allows water to penetrate through these cracks. As part of the new construction, the trees will be trimmed back and proper drainage pipes will be installed.

Bathroom Replacements



The existing school has separate toilet blocks for girls and boys, both of which are in very poor condition.

Like the classroom buildings, they are affected by mold and lack adequate air circulation.

Installation of an RO System

The existing hand washing and drinking station is not connected to a potable water source. A reverse osmosis system will be installed to provide teachers and students with access to clean, safe drinking water.

In addition, an Ayah and a Watchman will be hired to help keep the campus clean, free of garbage, and properly maintained.

School's New Footprint



Construction of the new Mallampet School began at the end of 2025 and is progressing quickly!

Workers are outlining where the renovated buildings will be located. The campus has been altered to accommodate an additional road from the busy street.

New Features for Mallampet

As with our other adopted schools in India, the renovated Mallampet School will include updated learning spaces and toilet facilities, as well as a fully equipped library with books and a librarian, a kitchen, and a boundary wall.

Stay tuned as we share updates on this important project, which will keep the Carnevali Foundation team in India busy in early 2026—along with several other exciting new initiatives.
