Sisters of Mercy open modern business hub in Mansa

The Sisters of Mercy have opened the Sisters of Mercy Hub (SOM Hub) in Mansa, a modern commercial facility designed to generate income for the congregation and provide local access to specialized services. Superior General Sr. Delphine Kalisha stated the hub aims to reduce the travel time and expenses families previously faced when seeking healthcare, eye care, and commercial services in major urban centers.

The facility will host commercial partners such as Vision Care, Mobile City, and Dynalab to provide healthcare and eye care services to Mansa residents. Revenue from the hub will fund the congregation's charitable works and create jobs for local people. Sr. Kalisha also noted that the hub will support women entrepreneurs by offering business space and growth opportunities.

During the launch, Sr. Kalisha thanked the Bishop of Mansa, Patrick Chisanga, along with neighbors, supporters, and the contractor, for helping overcome financial and operational challenges during construction. She encouraged businesses operating within the hub to practice honesty, kindness, and social responsibility.
