The Empowerment Plan is a humanitarian project based in the city of Detroit. The plan centers around a coat that is self-heated, waterproof, and transforms into a sleeping bag at night. The coat is made by a group of homeless women who have been paid to learn and to produce the coats for people living on the streets. The focus is on the system to create jobs for those that desire them and coats for those that need them at no cost.
