From Hive to Market
Juntos Crecemos Community Grants Program
Located in Los Loros, Colmenares Anita is a local beekeeping business producing natural honey and beeswax products. Founded by Guilian Mendoza, the business has earned recognition across the Atacama Region for the quality of its products and its commitment to sustainable production.
Funding awarded through our Juntos Crecemos community grants program helped improve the infrastructure of the business's processing plant. The investment enhanced production capacity and created opportunities to expand its range of honey and beeswax products. The improvements support the continued growth of a business rooted in the local community. By helping entrepreneurs like Guilian invest in their operations and pursue new opportunities, the program contributes to the long-term vitality and resilience of the region's local economy.
About Juntos Crecemos
In 2026, Lundin Mining launched Juntos Crecemos ("Growing Together"), bringing together successful long-standing community grant programs operated by our Candelaria and Caserones operations. The program provides funding that helps residents, entrepreneurs and community organizations pursue opportunities to strengthen their businesses and create lasting benefits for their communities. Projects supported through the program span entrepreneurship, community development, sport, education, culture and the environment.
As one of the largest private employers in the Atacama Region, we know our success is closely linked to the success of the communities where we operate. Through Juntos Crecemos, we help people across the region advance local initiatives that contribute to a strong and thriving future.
