One day when he was out begging his parents left, and did not return, leaving him with no knowledge of where they went or of any other family members for him to live with. When this happened, at the age of 7,  he started living on the streets in Kitale. A man he was unrelated to, picked him up and brought him home. David then became the house boy, doing chores and whatever else was required of him. He resided with this man for 3 years, and ran away again.
