Damiano Katengeza was all smiles when the Catholic Church through the Pontifical Missionaries Society(PMS) handed over keys to his new house that was built in a space of less than a month.

Katengeza who is disabled and in his late 50s has been putting up in a dilapidated earth structure that some well-wishers built for him some 20 years ago.

The three-bedroomed house which PMS has built for Jehovah’s Witness devout Katengeza comes after well-wishers contributed towards the course.

PMS National Director, Father Vincent Mwakhwawa says the Church was compelled to come in and help Katengeza having noted the dire situation of the house which he was putting in.

“During the Lenten period, a few individuals came together and contributed towards the construction of this house. It is an initiative that a few individuals like Violet devoted their time and resources to see the completion of this house. We hope more people will come forward and help people of Katengeza type,” said Fr Mwakhwawa.

Speaking after receiving the keys for the house, Katengeza who was in all smiles thanked PMS for the initiative which will transform his life.

Katengeza also hailed the Catholic church for giving him a start-up capital for a business that will in future help him find basic necessities.

“This is one the happiest days of my life. I was living in a very dilapidated structure which I called a house. I thank Catholic Church for building this house for me. I hope this gesture does not stop here with me.” Said Katengeza who heads a grouping of about 20 other disabled persons from Traditional Authority Chadza in Lilongwe.

The house which has been constructed to the tune of 1 million kwacha was handed over after Holy Mass that was celebrated by Parish Priest for Nathenje Parish in Lilongwe, Father Stephen Chikhasu.
