Origin of QolaQ / kɔ . lɑk /
The name QolaQ is inspired by the dessert "Kolak", known for bringing people together, especially during bonding times. Kolak is easy to make, affordable, and evokes feelings of comfort, humbleness, and kindness. QolaQ envisions these same qualities in its Mutual Aid Platform, encouraging members to share and help each other.
