Our founder, Lucy Ashman, has fostered a lifelong love for skincare. Inspired by her years of travel around Central America and studies of nutrition and botanical alchemy, she created Tierra & Lava - a holistic skin and hair care company centered around environmental and social impact. Based in Antigua, Guatemala, Tierra & Lava is immersed in a biodiverse climate that provides the wide range of unique ingredients we use in our formulas.
Finding Freedom through Friendship, Inc. (FFF) was founded in 2009 to meet the critical needs of rural Guatemalan women and their children who suffer from generational poverty. Finding Freedom through Friendship (FFF) strives for long-term sustainability for women, children, and the community.
We are a non-profit organization that works with programs and projects for the benefit of Guatemalan children and youth. The areas we work in are education, health, nutrition, recreation and environment.
