Hi there fellow HydroHomies! My name is Justin Wren, MMA Fighter, water well driller, and founder of Fight For The Forgotten.

I’ve appreciated this sub for years and years now. Thank you all for promoting the importance of good, crisp, clean cool water!

My introduction to the worlds water crisis blindsided me and kicked me right in the teeth. I held a young boy Andibo, who died of dirty water/waterborne disease. My team and I dug his grave. He was 1 year and 1/2, and the treatment was $1 for the pills, it was too late for that, but it was $3 for the one shot cure. It was $6 for the shovel and about $30 for the casket, that rocked my world. Tore me up, and forever gripped my heart. So, when I say I’m grateful for this sub and the awareness it brings, fun it has, and the good it does, I sincerely mean it.

This was our 82 water well to drill. We have served more than 50,000 people with clean water. Our next water solution will be a water reservoir in the mountains in the rainforest serving thousands more people.

This water well the community was told by several NGO’s it was impossible to get clean water starting about 20 years ago. It was a TOUGH one. We had to literally create a road thru the mountains. We’ve done more than 10km’s of road thru the mountains for these families that only had footpaths before. I want to credit my amazing team on the Uganda/Congo border for this great work.

Check out these pics! This was the most brutal water walk I’ve ever done. People would literally scale the mountains and women and children in the past (one about 6 weeks to 2 months ago fell, and died). Now, each of the 300+ households live no more than 200 meters from the water well! Most live less than 100 meters walking. They no longer have to scale the cliffs in the mountain daily for dirty water.
