I love knowing bits of trivia like that. We chose a Swahili word for a few reasons. When we were building the site, we were playing around with what words and phrases would represent us well. Double that with the challenge of having several of our ideas for domain names already taken, and it makes one a bit creative. ;) We started digging into other languages, and I have a soft spot for East Africa so we started looking at some Swahili words. We liked the way chakula rolled off the tongue and we thought the meaning was a good fit. Brian - I wish we had you around when we were doing our research! Mlisho and riziki would be wonderful words for representing our project. We definitely appreciate meaning behind things. Thanks for the update! Maninas – Thanks for the information!

Mlisho or riziki imply emotion and care, and chakula is just chakula.
