U.S.-based nonprofit GiveDirectly has been delivering cash with no strings attached directly from donors to people in need in rural Kenya. GiveDirectly studies how people use the money and what effect it has on households, communities, and the overall impact of their cash transfers on reducing poverty. Now the group is expanding their model and running a universal basic income experiment, giving every adult in chosen villages enough money to cover basic expenses for up to 12 years. NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent Chris Livesay reports from Kenya.
