About Us page
Plug was established in 2007 as a response to the growing gap in wealth and social and spiritual situation between the ‘underdeveloped’ and ‘first world’.
It draws on traditional principles of microenterprise development and completes this with the broader agenda of bringing about spiritual transformation to create social change. To do this it collaborates with corporate, churches and individuals to tangibly channel both capital, talent and expertise. It is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and risk management in providing enterprise building and church planting services.
Plug seeks to infuse the resources and expertise of developed nations into the worlds poorest communities.

Plug Logo
The Plug logo was developed by Charles Elena Design. It is a typographic solution. A literal interpretation of the plug tagline “See the need, fill the gap” is a visual reference to the smaller circle and the need to fill the gap. The logo is dynamic and the taglines soft so as not to compete with the main element.
