The Whistleblowers, Activists and Journalists Safety International Center (WAJSIC) is an organization that provides protection and preservation for whistleblowers and journalists shining the light of anti corruption and accountability across the African continent—because truth should never come with a death sentence.
Founded by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, WAJSIC is a secure refuge for those who risk their lives to expose corruption, injustice, and abuse. We provide physical shelter, legal aid, psychosocial support, and training to empower whistleblowers, activists, and journalists across Africa.
These numbers reflect our ongoing efforts to protect truth-tellers—and the support we still need to keep them safe.
WAJSIC responds to high-risk cases involving individuals and communities endangered for speaking the truth. Our expertise lies in protecting those who expose wrongdoing, challenge oppressive systems, and defend democratic freedoms across Africa..

“They took me in when no one else would.” I had risked everything to report the truth. My family was in danger. WAJSIC protected all of us—including my children. I am forever grateful.
Mali
“Their support saved my life.” I came to WAJSIC with only the clothes on my back. They provided legal help, medical care, and above all, dignity. I survived because of them.

“We were not just protected—we were empowered.” WAJSIC trained me in digital security and connected me with international allies. I now report with more confidence than ever.
