Abstract Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Rwanda, where substantial progress has been achieved but localized transmission and periodic resurgence persist. This study assessed environmental health factors, mitigation practices, health education, and community knowledge, attitudes, and practices influencing the uptake of environmental health strategies for malaria prevention and control among households attending Nyamugali Health Centre in Burera District. A descriptive cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted among 260 households using structured questionnaires, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression. Findings showed that stagnant water, bushes around homes, uncovered water containers, and blocked drainage systems were significant environmental risk factors associated with malaria prevention outcomes. Regular use of insecticide-treated nets was the most common preventive measure. Exposure to malaria prevention messages, positive attitudes, and good environmental practices significantly increased adoption of prevention strategies. The study concludes that strengthening community-based environmental management, expanding health education, and promoting community participation are critical for sustainable malaria control in Burera District.
