You must have heard the story of Mowgli, in which a child living in the jungle is found by humans. But the exact opposite happened with a boy. He would have stayed in the jungle but fate played a game and the story of this young boy who ran away from his home to live with wild animals in the jungles of Rwanda had a happy ending. Janjimen Ali is called the “real life Mowgli”. He was driven out of the jungle because of his appearance and was even called a monkey, while the reason for his appearance was a disease.
Janjiman was called the “real-life Mowgli” due to a documentary about his life that aired on YouTube in 2021. The young man got his name due to comparisons with the story of Mogil, a boy raised by wolves in the classic Disney film The Jungle Book. Janjiman was forced to run away from home after cruel bullies made his life miserable because of his appearance. He was also reportedly called a “monkey”.
Actually Janjiman suffers from a disease called microcephaly, in which a child is born with a head much smaller than normal. But his life changed when a film crew came to the African country to make a documentary about him, where he was reunited with his family.
Janjiman is believed to be 25 years old today and his birth year is said to be 1999. He is unrecognizable in his last appearance in the media. Documentary producer Afrimax TV created a “GoFundMe” page which received many donations from around the world. This gave Janjiman and his mother a chance to build a new life together.
In the 2022 footage, Eli can be seen looking very stylish in his school uniform and enjoying life at home with his mother. His mother says his incredible transformation is nothing short of a “miracle”. The last information made public about Janjiman was that he had also learned to ride a bike, and could clean himself and wash his clothes.
