About Us:

We, Lost Star Productions help children especially girls to unlock their potential and realize their dreams. We believe that every child is extraordinary and can scale great heights if provided with the right learning opportunities and education.

Why education is important in India?

· 53% of girls in the age group of 5 to 9 years are illiterate.

· In nearly 60% of schools, there are less than two teachers to teach Classes I to V.

· At least 35 million children aged 6 - 14 years do not attend school.

India is a country with more than one billion people, and just one-third of them can read. Rapidly growing size of population, shortages of teachers, books, and basic facilities, and insufficient public funds to cover education costs are some of the nation’s toughest challenges. This is where Children in India are facing the basic challenges. According to a study, more than 30% of educational funds are allocated towards higher education, leaving the primary education in India in sway. One of the main reasons behind this is poverty. When earning a livelihood and taking care of the members of the family becomes a primary matter of concern in one’s life, education stands a little or, very often, no chance of pursuance. . The practice of child labour in India and resistance to sending girls to school in several parts of the country remain as genuine concerns.

Our Objectives:

1.  We want to improve our education system by giving a positive message in the society through our Documentary and Films.

2.  We want the government to take some steps for the betterment of the girls education.

3.  We want the children to utilize their skills in getting correct amount of education instead of selling products or doing other work in the streets.

4.  We want the youth to be aware about these kids so that they can contribute in a certain way to help them in getting educated.

Education and Youth Empowerment:

Children, especially girls, belonging to the most impoverished backgrounds are expected to forfeit their right and desire to go to school because they are expected to manage household chores and sibling rearing. A lack of necessary skills like

negotiation, critical thinking and discerning ability to deal with complex situation. The movement focus lies on developing life skills that build and enhance the ability of girls from marginalised backgrounds to drive a change in their own communities. With regular and generous contributions from our supporters, we are able to march steadily towards achieving these goals.

Illiteracy is a curse and 50% of the world’s illiterates are Indians. Educating those children will lead to improve health, leadership qualities and economic opportunities. Girl’s education and leadership skills will lead to challenge and reshape the limitations placed on girls’ lives. However, academic education does not automatically result in empowering girls; they need help in developing leadership capabilities.

School gives girls a chance at life, especially in areas of the world where child marriage, early motherhood and poverty are the only other options. We work to remove obstacles keeping girls from leading healthy, empowered lives.
