OUR VISION
Overcoming oppression with overwhelming opportunity.
Founded by former UFC and current Bellator MMA fighter Justin “The Big Pygmy” Wren, Fight for the Forgotten is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to defending the weak, loving the unloved, and empowering the voiceless around the world.
We do this by walking alongside displaced indigenous peoples groups in west Africa to help ensure their health and human rights.
JUSTIN WREN - FOUNDER
Beyond his impressive MMA career, Justin Wren has dedicated his life to making a positive impact. Inspired by a life-changing trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Justin founded Fight for the Forgotten to focus on providing clean water, education, and empowerment to Pygmy communities in Africa. He advocates for indigenous rights and is a powerful voice for marginalized communities
