The John Higgs Fund seeks to identify groups doing specific development, community or educational [not within schools] work in rural areas, which are either struggling to start, having trouble in maintaining valuable activities, wishing to develop in new or unfamiliar areas, or seeking to evaluate their work. In addition, the fund tries to assist these groups to find the right person to help and guide their efforts.
