The name SEPLAA was coined by the Founder, Mrs. Ammara Farooq Malik, in November 2008 and it stands for the ‘Seeds of Education, Policy & Legal Awareness Association’.
The NGO ‘SEPLAA Foundation’ was then registered in April 2010 under the Societies Act 1860 (Act XXI of 1860) with a specified Memorandum of Association, to work in the areas of education and empowerment and socio legal reform through awareness publications and dialogues.
