In addition to industrial development, social, cultural, and educational issues, particularly with regard to the local community, have been a concern for BIFA. This has resulted in BIFA constructing a housing complex of 220 apartments, a primary education school, building extensions to an existing primary school, and a secondary school for its employees and their children. These social projects were done as a contribution to the Ministry of National Education.
