The project is the unit of operation. It is solidly based on a concept, defining the idea, the overall contents of the program, the time frame, the organization of the people and the desired effects of the project.

Each project is organized with a project leader, who shares the overall responsibility with one or more co-project leaders and a project council. The project leader lives in and is part of the community where the project operates. The concept is agreed upon with the organization and the people involved. With that in place, many people participate in formulating the aims and concrete actions of their specific involvement in the project, and even more people become involved, and new elements can be added as per necessity and desire of the community or partners.
