Home delivery is persisting in developing countries. In Rwanda, 9% of mothers derived at home as reported in 2015 Demographic Health Survey. Delivering at home is associated with higher risk of maternal deaths. This study aims to investigate the rates of home delivery and associated factors. This study was a cross sectional study design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A convenience sampling was used to select 160 mothers for quantitative data. For qualitative data, 16 FGDs were conducted. Data were collected by using a structured questionnaire and interview guide. Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS while qualitative data were thematically analyzed. A total of 160 mothers from 8 sectors of Kayonza district participated in the study. Of them 61.3% were aged less than 35 years, 70% were married, and 93.8% had attended primary education. The rate of delivering at home was 36.9% (deliver at home for two times or more). We found that mothers aged over 35 years were 3.5 times more likely to recurrently deliver at home than mothers aged between 15-35 years (OR=3.5; 95% CI: [1.80-6.96]; p&lt;0.001). The odds of having a recurrence of home delivery was found to be 4 times higher among mothers with limited transport facilitation (OR=4.0; 95% CI: [1.01- 16.1]; p=0.047). Poverty, family conflicts, increase of teenage pregnancies, lack of health insurance, a lack of money to pay for a hospital services were mentioned as factors influencing recurrence of home delivery. There is a need to increase the support received by poor families in Rwanda.
