The Hanzade Foundation combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence with human compassion to support the mental health of children affected by war and conflict. We believe that technology, guided by empathy and cultural understanding, can provide hope and healing to the world's most vulnerable young minds.
Hanzade brings together extensive academic research in artificial intelligence with deep humanitarian experience across global conflict zones. With advanced degrees in computer science and psychology, and field work spanning three continents, she witnessed firsthand how children in crisis lack access to culturally appropriate mental health support.
Her vision combines her technical expertise with profound understanding of trauma-informed care, creating innovative solutions that honor both human dignity and technological possibility.
The Hanzade Foundation bridges the gap between advanced technology and humanitarian need. We develop ethical AI solutions specifically designed for children experiencing trauma from war, displacement, and conflict.
Our approach prioritizes cultural sensitivity, privacy protection, and human oversight, ensuring that technology serves as a bridge to healing rather than a replacement for human connection.
Our flagship initiative is developing Compass, an advanced language model specifically designed to provide emotional support and coping strategies for children affected by trauma. This groundbreaking tool combines state-of-the-art AI with rigorous ethical safeguards.
Every interaction is monitored by trained mental health professionals, ensuring appropriate responses and immediate intervention when needed.
Compass is trained on diverse cultural contexts and languages, respecting local traditions, beliefs, and communication styles.
Zero data retention policy with end-to-end encryption ensures complete confidentiality and protection of vulnerable users.
Built with input from child psychologists and trauma specialists to provide age-appropriate, evidence-based emotional support.
