==Economy and utilities==
Hamouro has a small covered market, which lies along the main road (the N3 road) in the village.<ref name="GM"/>

The commune of Bandrélé has been actively working towards improving housing, sanitation, local commerce and the safety of local roads in the area since 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bandrele.yt/hamouro-un-foisonnement-de-projets-pour-developper-le-village/|title=Hamouro : un foisonnement de projets pour développer le village|publisher=Bandrele.yt|accessdate=3 February 2026|language=French}}</ref>
The French National Institute of statistics and economic studies described Hamouro as a village with "very disadvantaged living conditions". In May 2018, working in conjunction with GRET and Gescod, they set about improving sanitation in the area.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gret.org/en/news/2018/mayotte-gret-is-developing-a-non-collective-sanitation-project-in-hamouro/|title=Mayotte : GRET is developing a non-collective sanitation project in Hamouro|date=10 November 2018|accessdate=3 February 2026}}</ref>

In mid August 2023, 81 illegally constructed corrugated iron shacks in the village were bulldozed to the ground on the first day of a new operation in Hamouro to improve local conditions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mayottehebdo.com/actualite/immigration/un-important-decasage-a-commence-a-hamouro/|title=Un important décasage a commencé à Hamouro|publisher=Mayottehebdo.com|date=14 August 2023|accessdate=3 February 2026|language=French}}</ref>
