The "Luz do Campo" program has created positive and favorable impact to the opening of opportunities in the rural area.  It has contributed to facilitate the access of workers to energetical facilities and has contributed to providing them with better social and economical conditions. As a consequence after the accomplishment of the rural electrification process in the settlements of "Anhumas" and "Maria Neto" implanted in Ribeirão Claro in Paraná, it was possible to come to terms with two projects of Sericiculture in that location. The energy consumption of these projects has not been only restricted to human comfort, but has also been aimed at the production. As a result, the economical success achieved in those settlements in less than a year's time, is due to the transformation actions in the countryside that have lowered poverty and raised the perspectives of better life quality to the settlers.
