Fampotabe has a Public Primary School. The encouraging slogan of the school is "À coeur vaillnt rien d'impossible" - "With a valiant heart nothing is impossible".

There are many well stocked shops and small ''hôtely''' (restaurant) along the sandy main road. The villagers live from fishing and farming, especially cloves. Throughout the months of October and November the cloves are picked and thereafter prepared for drying in the sun. In those months there will be an intense scent of cloves in the entire village.
