It was there that Dr. David Owuor grew up with his eight siblings, six girls and two boys.

David Owuor’s father was a middle-class earner, which provided him with a stable upbringing. He received basic education at a time when many Kenyans had limited access to schooling. For his primary education, he attended Wambasa Primary School in Yimbo before transferring to Jusa Primary School in Siaya.

After completing primary school, he moved to Uganda for his secondary education due to the nature of his father’s work. While in Uganda, his father was transferred to Kampala, where David attended Luzira Secondary School for his lower secondary education. He later joined Mbale Senior Secondary School for his upper secondary education, where he attained his O-level certificate.
