3. Our Big Goals
● Job to Mouth’s main focus is to build and work with
nonprofit organizations that will offer jobs to unskilled
professionals and help grant those opportunities to
communities worldwide.
● We plan on implementing our plan in the U.S. and our
goal is to spread, within a year, to China and within
another year progress into Africa.
● In addition to opportunity growth, we would take part in
the skill aspect as well. By teaching skills vital for work,
individuals can grow as a whole and provide for
themselves and their families.

4. Background
● A healthy economic growth rate of 2-3% percent is
enough to create 150,000 jobs needed to prevent high
unemployment.
● 1 in 9 people go to bed hungry each night.
● More than ⅓ of the population have lived without even a
scrap of work for 27 weeks or more. That's 27 weeks of
stress and unpaid bills.
● A minimum wage of $10.10 hourly would boost the
incomes of millions of workers while generating thousands
of jobs.
● Nearly 24 million working-age Americans remain jobless.

11. Solutions to Stop these ProblemsReasons Why Unemployment is in
Africa
● Insignificant funding for schools, and training
facilities
● A lack of rural jobs leading to overpopulation
and job competition in urban areas
● Leaders that improperly use funding
● The lack of regular electric power supply in
Nigeria
● Negligence of natural resources
● Lack of awareness for the abundance of
natural resources
● Lack of adequate funding for African countries.
● Better funding for educational systems
● The creation of rural jobs to decrease
overpopulation and job competition in
urban areas
● The removal of leaders who hinder the
growth of their countries
● Institution of a regular electric power
supply in Nigeria
● Raising awareness about natural
resources and agriculture, thus creating
more rural jobs and feeding more families.
● With the funding it needs, Africa can
become like how it was before
imperialism.

diagnosed with autism and my baby girl.
I’ve sold a bunch of my belongings to try
and put food on the table, to buy clothes
for my kids, to pay rent and utilities and
to put gas in my vehicle to go job
hunting.”
- Alejandro, 30-years-old, San Jose, California
