How a basic income experiment helped these Kenyans weather the Covid-19 crisis

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is promoting the utopia/fantasy of universal basic income!

In this research experiment conducted in Kenya only about 6,000 people from rural areas participated in a country of 51 million population. The 12 year study started only in 2017. One of the researchers of this study is from MIT.
Would this UBI extended to the whole population it would collapse for lack of financing!
