Careers & Internships
At Book Drive Store, we believe that stories are not just written; they are lived. Our team is growing, and we are looking for bold, creative, and purpose-driven individuals who want to make learning fun, inclusive, and sustainable for children across Africa. If you are passionate about books, design, community, and innovation, this is your place to grow, create, and lead.

Create storybooks, games, and recycled learning tools used by thousands of children.
Collaborate with passionate creatives, authors, and educators across Africa.
Contribute to a sustainability driven organization reinvesting 20% of profits into literacy programs through the Read to Learn Foundation.
- Be part of a team where every idea matters, and every person has a story to tell.
Our Internship Pathway
We are committed to nurturing young talent through our Internship to Employment Model designed to give graduates practical experience in creative and social enterprise fields.
Each placement runs for three months, during which interns receive:
Experience in publishing, authorship, design, communications, or operations.
Real world exposure to literacy programs, community events, and production hubs.
Daily meals at our Muyenga office and transport facilitation.
Outstanding interns who demonstrate excellence, creativity, and initiative are offered full time employment opportunities upon completion of their placement.
