| Research Abstract |
This study deals with disaster relief and social welfare activities conducted by religious NGOs in several Asian countries of the Pacific Rim: research was conducted in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia.
Some religious NGOs in those areas have been involved in relief activities during emergencies and disasters and also in support activities for people in need. In the Pacific Rim countries in Asia, religious NGOs have developed into networks of interrelated agencies working with other public sector groups at various levels, from local to transnational.
Overall, this research has shown that these religious NGOs are functioning as social actors to help build a strong civil society.
