Jyoti Kisange Amge

0,63 m

She is 6.2 cm shorter than the former world's Shortest woman, 22-year old American Bridgette Jordan who stands at 69cm (2 ft 3 in). But despite her tiny stature, Jyoti is not the shortest woman in history. This title continues to be held by Pauline Musters (Netherlands, 1876-1895) who measured just 61cm (24in).

Has attended regular school since she was 4 and, other than a small desk and chair, she is treated like any other.

Due to her size, all of Jyoti's clothes and jewelry are custom made. Even plates and utensils are specially made, as normal-sized silverware is too big.

Has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and will not grow any taller than her current height. She weighs 11lb (5 kg).

Youngest of five siblings.
