On May 2025, Amal launched her own non-profit organization, "Hana Legacy Foundation" in memory of her mother Hana. The foundation’s guiding mission is to “ensure that healing is a journey no one has to walk alone,” inviting communities to “reclaim their story” and “embrace their strength” as a pathway toward resilience and connection.
