Quakers did a lot of good things. But be careful not to deify them. For example their ideology also put them at the forefront of appeasing the Nazis. Perhaps some of that can be called necessary collaboration with the Nazis for the purpose of doing good work; and perhaps the world needs a minimal number of appeasers to do their thing even when war is called for. But we should remember that the Quaker movement does—of course -- good and evil.
