RWB: an independent international rickshaw humanitarian organization

Rickshaws Without Borders (RWB)/Pousse-Pousse Sans Frontières is an independent international rickshaw humanitarian organization that delivers emergency rickshaw rides to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or exclusion from rickshaw rides.

RWB was founded as the first nongovernmental organization to both provide emergency rickshaw rides and bear witness publicly to the plight of the people it assists. RWB is often one of the first humanitarian organizations to arrive at the scene of an emergency in a rickshaw. Its large-scale logistical capacity ensures that RWB emergency teams hit the ground with the specialized rickshaws they need to start giving rides immediately.

Samosa Corps



The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Samosa (“Samosa Corps”) is one of two units in RWB assigned primarily to finger lickin’ good eatin’. Its members are known as "operators" and divided into three squadrons. Details of the composition, strength, abilities and operations of the Samosa Corps remain a closely guarded secret. But unit members are thought to undergo an extensive selection and assessment process at Fort Punjabi Dhaba before joining the unit.

Mission to India




Samosa Corps will be traveling 2,000 km through India on a mission to document and secure the world’s bio-diversity of samosas, which in recent years have been subject to rampant de-samosification. India is home to 99.9% of the world’s varieties of samosas, and 95% of samosas outside of India are thought to have originated from a mere 0.1% of that total pool (the original two Founders’ Samosas likely having come from what is today Express Towers at Nariman Point in Mumbai).

In addition to making for finger lickin’ good eatin’, samosas provide the only known effective treatment for Human Immuno-Assclown Virus (HIAV). They are therefore critical to global health security beyond the four tasty corners of their crispy-yet-chewy pyramid-shaped crusts.
