Miles for Smiles offers after-school vocational skills training for teenagers at the Urafiki Center. Locally-hired instructors provide hands on training throughout the week. Through nurturing creativity and equipping them with employable skills, students will have a better chance of finding decent jobs when they finish school, and thus be a positive influence in their community. The skills they learn will also help them to better help care for their families.

Vocational training includes sewing, woodworking and basic computer skills.
