The Omo child shelter saves the lives of the "Mingi" children. Mingi is the ritualistic killing of infants and children who are Mingi because they are considered impure or cursed. When you are born Mingi you are sentenced to death. During the eye camp trip Kahn met Lale Labuko' founder of the Omo Child Shelter a Mingi survivor who decided to dedicate his life and fight for the Mingi children. When Kahn became aware of the Omo Child Children home in Jinka he could not stand silent, and decided to contribute and build them an orphanage so they will not need to worry about not having a permanent home.

Following British sculptor Anish Kapoor decision to grant the Prize money awarded to him in 2017 by the Genesis Prize to Syrian refugees Kahn was inspired and made a six-figure grant to the Ziv hospital to fund treatment for Syrian children who have suffered hearing loss as a result of their country’s civil war. Kahn joined the global initiative to aid refugee causes and encourage other Jewish foundations and philanthropists to do the same. Ziv Medical Center has extensive experience treating wounded Syrian civilians. The hospital reports that one out of every three Syrian children from combat areas examined by Ziv’s hospital staff suffers from hearing loss. The children are provided testing, treatment, surgery and rehabilitation.

Kahn then went to visit the refugee camps in Lesbos, the visit was overwhelming, he could not believe that so many people were uprooted from their homes and had no future. Since basic education is the only hope for these refugees to regain their identity and freedom Kahn decided to gift "The school of peace in Lesbos".

We as Jews who have been refugees cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of innocent civilians, whoever they may be. "(Morris Kahn)
