Women’s Shower Block
A new shower cum bathroom block for female residents and visiting nuns is being built in the women’s kuti area. At the moment, there is only one shower room at the Sala for women. During retreats and major events, when the number of lay women staying at the monastery increases, sometimes significantly, that single shower is simply inadequate. The new block will have two showers and a toilet, as well as a separate section for visiting nuns, with facilities specifically designed to suit monastic needs.
The building cost would amount to over $138,065, covering costs of getting consent, work above ground and interior fittings, but excluding council fees. This excludes cost of connection to mains power.
Construction began in early October 2024. Foundation works have been completed and work on the flooring is in progress.
Monk Bathrooms
We are planning a project to provide bathroom facilities for the community of Sangha at Vimutti Monastery. Presently, the male shower room/toilets are shared between male lay residents and monks. As this arrangement is not ideal, we are remodelling the existing bathroom space by partitioning off a dedicated section for monks. The new section will be designed to support more resident monks, as we anticipate that the community of monks at Vimutti will gradually grow.
