Julia was born in the district of Marracuene, Maputo province. She is 41 years old and unmarried with 2 adult children who have completed their studies. She attended school through the sixth grade and left when she got married. She supports five people (one grandson and four nephews) who live in Julia's house with her.

She grew up with her parents in the town of Marracuene. The family left Marracuene when they were transferred to the district of Bane (Chinonanquila). She lives near her parents' house, where she learned to run small businesses. She sells used clothing for all ages and has nearly 20 years of experience in business. She works alone, buying products (a variety of clothing) in the city of Maputo and has clients within Mozambique as well as from South Africa and Swaziland.

She earns 5000 meticals a month and is able to save 1000 meticals a month in her bank account. She heard about Hluvuku-Adsema through her neighbors, who are clients of the organization with two loans of 5600 and 7000 meticals for the same purpose (selling used clothing). With this 10,000 metical loan, she plans to acquire a variety of used clothing to expand her business and satisfy her clients.

She intends to pay off the loan in full and on time so that she can take out more loans in order to buy furniture for her house, expand her business, and hire an employee to assist her with sales and other tasks.
