atal tlodi, yn enwedig drwy fuddsoddi i roi'r dechrau gorau posibl i blant. O’r adeg y bydd rhywun yn cael ei genhedlu hyd nes y bydd yn oedolyn ifanc, ein nod fydd lleihau anghydraddoldeb cyn gynted ag y bo modd a thorri'r cyswllt rhwng anfantais economaidd-gymdeithasol, tangyflawni addysgol a'r cyfleoedd gwannach mewn bywyd a ddaw yn eu sgil;gan gydnabod mai'r ffordd orau allan o dlodi yw drwy gyflogaeth, byddwn yn parhau i helpu pobl i wella eu sgiliau a gwella perthnasedd eu cymwysterau. Byddwn hefyd yn cael gwared ar y rhwystrau eraill i gyflogaeth – o rwystrau ymarferol fel hygyrchedd trafnidiaeth ac adeiladau, i rwystrau llai pendant fel diffyg uchelgais - gan helpu pobl i symud ymlaen ac i fyny'r ysgol gyflogaeth;ar yr un pryd, byddwn yn sicrhau mwy o gamau gweithredu i liniaru effaith tlodi ar unwaith. I fwy a mwy o bobl, nid yw hyd yn oed bod mewn gwaith yn sicrhau eu bod yn gallu dianc rhag tlodi. Gallwn weithredu i wella ansawdd bywyd y cymunedau, y teuluoedd a'r unigolion hyn.
to prevent poverty, especially through investment in giving children the best possible start in life. From conception through to early adulthood, our aim will be to reduce inequality at the earliest possible stage and break the link between socio-economic disadvantage, educational under achievement and the impaired life chances that flow from these;recognising that the best route out of poverty is through employment, we will continue to help people to improve their skills and enhance the relevance of their qualifications. We will also remove other barriers to employment – from practical barriers such as the accessibility of transport and buildings to less tangible barriers such as poverty of aspiration - helping people to move on to and up the employment ladder;at the same time, we will increase action to mitigate the impact of poverty here and now. We recognise that for more and more people, even being in work will not guarantee that they can escape poverty.  We can act to improve the quality of life of these communities, families and individuals.
