This situation is panicky to all classes’ people and the author attempts to evaluate the contribution of nutrition counseling for health development (NC4HD) project in context of homeless children in Bangladesh, an Asian developing country. Though NC4HD is a general term to aid development of health status of samples in a population, there are many cases where the potential benefits of NC linked with the individual, community and national level also.
