About us
Five Stars Travel is an arm of a social enterprise that operates in Lilongwe City, Malawi, Southern Africa. Established in 2020, the travel agency is a full travel service provider that serves business and leisure clients who require professional, friendly, trusted and efficient organization of their outbound and inbound travel and tourism needs. Five Stars Travel has quickly fully grown into a social enterprise that aims to find solutions in the community in both education and health sectors. The social enterprise has the purpose of reaching out and helping the needy children in the areas of lack of basic social needs such as school fees, clothes, learning materials, food and other critical issues that require prior attention. Since 2023, under the patronage of Mr. Johnny Symon, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Five Stars Travel, the social enterprise has aided a group of primary school learners in Lilongwe and Blantyre Malawi with desks and printing materials for weekly assessments. Some have benefited with the program of school fees (like bursary). Five Stars Travel solely operates to raise funds and share 10% of the profits for the social causes
