Kitty & Costs

There are two kitties at Dawal, one is [FIXME: idk the french spelling of the little little one] (Pronounced: PI - CHU - NET).

There is a kitty aka a common pool for shared food and other common expenses.

For overnight stays, we have a suggestion scale for what you could pay. We will not ask you to explain your financial situation, no will we check. This is a rough guide to be able to allow for space to be used by individuals and groups and continue Dawal. We are also happy to accept material donations [fixme: link], in-kind contributions such as taking on responsibilities for improvement, ongoing or one-time tasks.

For longer stays, please get in touch & let’s discuss.

Suggestion scale (daily rate per person)

  • Cost covering [FIXME: amount/rate].

As an example & a comparison, while there is no fixed price, the monks at the abbaye of Solesmes suggest a donation of about 40 euros per day per guest, to cover the costs of one-night stay and three meals. 😀

  • Solidarity rate [FIXME: amount/rate].

  • Amis de Dawal rate [FIXME: amount/rate].

    If you are able to pay more, or an institution/funding body is paying for your stay. It does subsidise the stays of those who can’t pay.
