“…Some authors consider FBOs remarkably similar to secular social service delivery organizations, sharing with them humanistic values and low threshold access (Chambré, 2001; Davelaar and Kerstens, 2012; Herman et al, 2012). Others, however, argue that FBOs use unique resources: these may be highly motivated believing staff and volunteers (Bowers Du Toit, 2019; Ebaugh et al, 2003; Graddy and Ye, 2006) or assistance from local religious bodies with historically established access to vulnerable populations (Cloke and Beaumont, 2012). Furthermore, faith is seen to be directing FBOs in the provision of non-materialistic values, a moral compass, a sense of solidarity, and support in the search for meaning in life and individual transformation (Chambré, 2001; Davelaar and Kerstens, 2012; Herman et al, 2012; Williams, 2016).…”
