The company name "Krith"
The point of origin of the name Krith you can find in the story of 1 Kings 17 from the Bible. Krith is the Dutch translation of the brook Cherith. This is the name of the wady where the profet Elijah hides himself to escape from the anger of king Ahab. Elijah got the promise of God that he would find food and water overthere, althougth there had not fallen any rain for years. The name Krith wants to render this trust in God.
