Since March 2000, through CFC's Community Driven Development Project the organization has made efforts to counter the deplorable conditions of Mohammadi/ Machar Colony. Mohammadi Colony is located in Karachi , behind the railroad tracks on Maripur Road . Its illegal status deprives it of water, sanitation, education and health care. At this point CFC's most dominating component in the Community Driven Project is Education and Using art to raise awareness and funds is exactly what CFC aimed at as part of its education component in Mohammadi colony .

Every year CFC organizes a summer art program. Art students from local schools and colleges are recruited to give art lessons to the children of Mohammadi Colony. CFC recognizes that the students in Mohammadi Colony have no previous instruction in art and only expect preliminary guidance in using tools and materials. During the course of the internship, interns are required to instruct students on issues regarding hygiene, pollution, and other controversial topics surrounding the area. An exhibition is then held displaying the art work and photography created by these children. At the end of the exhibition CFC expects paintings to be sold at the art exhibition. Proceeds from the event are ploughed into the CFC's Community Driven Project.

On September 1, 2006 CFC held an art exhibition titled at the Alliance François. The primary objective of the exhibition was to shed light on issues of sanitation, health, education, human rights prevalent in Mohammadi Colony. The exhibition displayed 250 paintings and 50 photographs of Mohammadi Colony students. Each painting had an excerpt discussing the painting and a background on the individual's lifestyle. In this way, local Karachi citizens became exposed to the daily cataclysmic conditions faced by Mohammadi Colony residents.

This exhibition was attended by Nasreen Jaleel (Naib Nazim) as the Chief Guest along with individuals from all walks of life students, philanthropists as well as international and local photographers: Kohi Marri, Izdeyar Setna, Kate Malone, Zohra Omar and Nadir Burney. Art of this nature is meant to meet the philanthropic spirit and generate awareness because of its educative aspect and breadth of expressive range. CFC desires that people accept this event as a service to humanity and not just as aesthetic merit.

This year CFC is holding the art exhibition from 8th to 15th of September 2007 at "The Commune" Artis's colony .The artworks on show are executed by the children of Kiran Academy, Ghulshan-e-Farooq and Ayesha Secondary School of the colony. All proceeds from the sale of the exhibition will be used for the Education and Public Health Initiatives in the Mohammadi Colony: Community Driven Development Project.
