OUR LEADERSHIP
Cornerstone of Hope Orphanage’s leadership team includes its founder and CEO, Eric Idehen, who has set a clear vision for the organization. Eric is in constant contact with the Nigerian location and Jeff Corneh manages operations in Sierra Leone. The Board of Directors supports the orphanage by acting as advisors and by actively raising funds through special events such as the annual Golf Outing and annual “A Night Under the African Stars” gala.

I have been involved in supporting orphan causes for more than 15 years, including hosting and supporting adoption for orphans. I have been passionate and involved in providing personal and financial support for the Cornerstone of Hope Orphanage since its inception.
Aliou Keita
Board President,
VP of Business Development
Lincoln Savings Bank
I am from Africa and have always known that I wanted to get involved in something that benefits and helps people in Africa. Also, being a new father myself, I want to be able to help children as much as I can, so the Cornerstone of Hope Orphanage combines two things that I am very passionate about, Africa and children.
Jeff U. Corneh
Founder and President, Cornerstone
of Hope Orphanage Sierra Leone
I had an irresistible urge to join the good works of Cornerstone of Hope USA, to help build hope for and change the lives of orphan children in Sierra Leone, so that they can grow and make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world.
