Conclusion: The Ramadan Iftar/ Hot meal distribution Program is very much important for the fasting people during Ramadan. But we think that this type of program is not sufficient for the fasting people due to onetime distribution. The vulnerable or disadvantage community people need more support of nutritious food during Ramadan for Iftar and Suhri. We hope that in the future, Human Relief Foundation will provide the food support for Iftar and Suhri for the needy community people of Bangladesh
