Despite the restrictions brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, BCA-USA embarked on initiatives to support the social welfare of people in Bali. Two of these initiatives involved healthcare and access to potable water.

To assist healthcare facilities in Bali, BCA-USA provided funding to the Bali District Hospital which enabled the hospital to convert one of its wards into an isolation ward to accommodate Covid19 patients. BCA-USA's funding overseen by the Health Committee, also supported the purchase of masks and training of health workers to undertake Covid-19 sensitization within Bali. The project went a long way toward supporting the hospital’s Covid19 readiness efforts as well as raising awareness in the community.
In 2021, following approval from the National Executive Committee and subsequently, the Board of Directors, BCA-USA sponsored the construction of five boreholes in Bali. Under the stewardship of the BCA-USA Projects Committee all five boreholes were completed by March 2022. Profound thanks to the Health Committee chaired by Ni Nubia Kaba and the Projects Committee chaired by Ni Goddy Gwaabe for steering these projects to completion.
